Throughout the season we will be adding/revising the key information our own teams may need easy access to. Team Managers can still obtain more detail on the Team Manager resource page, this page is meant to simply cover the pieces you may need to access very quickly in this Covid-19 impacted season.
While we will do our best to update this page as often as possible, changes that are sent via email will supersede the information on this page.
Around the Rink - UBC
- The following are the rules at UBC that must be followed:
- Enter at the North Entrance for all ice times. Arrive 25 minutes ahead of your ice time and UBC staff will escort the group in. Protrans exit is the door half way up the staircase nearest the proshop (out to the North Entrance side). Father Bauer exit is out the back hallway to the Osborne parking lot.
- Dressing rooms ARE being used but no washrooms/showers are open in them. Public washrooms are located at the ice resurfacer end of Protrans - there are none in Father Bauer but the Protrans ones are just through the doors and down the stairs so they are not far.
- Masks are now required to be worn by all TBird team staff/volunteers and players aged 6 and older entering the building and until they leave the dressing room to go to the ice
- This means that a parent/guardian will need to either ensure their child can remove the mask from under their helmet on their own or they will need to enter the building to assist them (one per player, no siblings)
- Contact and game play will be allowed as of September 21st
- Maximum TBird group size = 45 at any one time - this includes any parent/guardian help entering the building so a staggered entrance may need to be monitored.
- There are NO SPECTATORS at any time for the ice sessions at this time. Anyone caught sneaking in or claiming to be a member of the team staff who is not will face sanctions by TBirds.
Around the Rink - Richmond Olympic Oval
- The following are the rules at the Richmond Olympic Oval that must be followed:

- Dressing rooms are not being used. They have open air dressing areas set up next to the rinks for players who are old enough to put on their skates.
- Masks are recommended to be worn by all TBird team staff/volunteers and players until helmets are on.
- No parents are allowed to enter this venue to assist, so if a player is not able to put on their own helmet they must enter fully dressed.

Vancouver Park Board Arenas
The following are the rules at the Vancouver Park Board Arenas that must be followed:
- Dressing rooms are not being used at any facilities. They are setting up open air dressing areas but your group may or not be able to access one. In order to not lose an additional 30 minutes between ice sessions due to the cleaning time, it will be necessary to have groups not automatically have access to a dressing area.
- If you are assigned a dressing area, you will be able to enter 10 minutes prior to your ice time and must leave within 5 minutes after.
- If you are NOT assigned a dressing area, you will enter right before your ice time and go directly to the ice or bench depending on the facility. Skate guards will be removed and left on the bench. Following the ice time, skate guards are put back on and team will leave the venue immediately. Goalies may have special access early to finish putting pads on at the bench.
- Masks are recommended to be worn by all TBird team staff/volunteers and players until helmets are on.
- They will allow one parent to enter with the player if they need assistance but this will only be if a dressing area is assigned to the ice time.
- Contact and game play will be allowed as of September 21st
- Maximum TBird group size = 45 at any one time - this includes any parent/guardian help entering the building so a staggered entrance may need to be monitored.
- There are NO SPECTATORS at any time for the ice sessions at this time. Anyone caught sneaking in or claiming to be a member of the team staff who is not will face sanctions by TBirds.
