Game plan

  

We believe the Governor made this decision without consulting or considering how our sport is played. Our intent is to raise awareness and educate policy makers on the protocols and many layers of protective gear to keep our players and staff safe. We are calling on our hockey community to band together as we implement our phased plan as outlined below.

Phase one - go on the offensive

Help Our Cause

Phase TWO - Crash the Net (A.K.A. Crash the Switchboard)

ONE PHONE CALL AND ONE FEEDBACK LINK A DAY FROM YOU USING THE SCHEDULE AND SCRIPT BELOW! 


Phone calls show dedication and will be the best way to be heard! However just as important as the calls we need to be coordinated with a clear consistent message hence the SCRIPT AND SCHEDULE below. Start smiling and dialing hockey family. We ask you bring anyone who supports this cause to make the call. 

Follow the Script

My name is _______ . I am calling to request that the Governor change the youth hockey risk classification from high to low risk for the following reasons.

1) The speed, style and duration of the game do not qualify youth hockey players as close contact per the CDC guidelines as the CDC defines close contacts as any individual within 6 feet of an infected person for at least 15 minutes.

2) A youth hockey player has zero skin to skin or face to face contact with another player and almost every part of a youth skater’s body is covered with equipment including hands and the majority of face unlike other sports which were defined as a lower risk.

  

Please reach out at kelly@restoreyouthhockey.org to further discuss how we can come together on this change and visit our website at restoreyouthhockey.org. Please follow the state of Minnesota’s lead and the recommendation of The National Federation of State High School Associations and classify hockey as a lower risk sport. Thank you for your time and consideration.
