ASHL is supposed to start up here on July 6th but they have rules like it’s now 4 on 4 (for less contact) maximum 8 skaters and 1 goalie per team, refs can’t touch the puck anymore, penalties are now penalty shots, two 20 minute straight time periods now, all the usual social distancing rules like everyone else has. The one that gets me is now everyone has to buy a bubble just to play. I wasn’t aware face shields were made to prevent the spread of viruses

very interesting. it's nice to see rinks that actually give a damn. one of our rinks clearly doesn't. they haven't officially told anyone what they're doing and they've been open for a month for kids sessions. they seem to think a "cone of silence" is the best way to run their business
side note: people keep asking if when the adults start up, we'll have 2 locker rooms per team. this rink was short on locker rooms anyway but 8 months ago they took out the locker rooms in the roller rink (2 ice, 1 roller) to make a "music studio" for the owner's son.

For as much as everyone in that league cries about that rink, you’d think the league would just stop buying ice from them

it'd be nice if we could but if we did, you can say goodbye to our supplemental leagues of Rec and Over35. there's just not enough rinks in metro ATL. now if I hit the Powerball......

our local beer league re-started last Monday. we've already got our first confirmed case. guy played Monday in our Over35 league, started feeling bad Tuesday and now he's hospitalized on a respirator.
And his O35 teammates quite likely, in turn, exposed their own Open League teammates as games were played in those divisions over the balance of last week. It will be terrifying to see how far and wide this might spread through our hockey community in the coming weeks.

It is highly unlikely he deteriorated that fast overnight. He probably already was infected with COVID. Takes about three to five days to show symptoms, for those who even show symptoms.

Shoeshine wasn't suggesting he got sick from playing. It's that he played while already unknowingly a positive carrier and exposed several dozen others, who then could pass it on to teammates in other divisions.
this. we're just lucky that the other division he plays in didn't have another game until Thursday and he was already feeling ill by then and didn't play. otherwise we'd have FOUR teams of players exposed at 2 different rinks.

It will be very interesting to see how the league responds to this situation. All players involved out 2 weeks? Wait and see how players feel and not do anything? What is the right thing to do? It is all new.
all players present must quarantine for 2 weeks or after 3 days they can get tested. if they can produce a valid negative test result they will be allowed to play again.
if we're lucky, no one present inhaled Patient Zero's respiratory droplets.
those with "secondary exposure" have been told to monitor themselves for symptoms.
