Alert Level 2 Rule Change Reminder -

From 11:59pm on Tuesday (tonight) 21 September, the indoor gathering limits will increase to 100 people in Alert Level 2 areas

 

 

 

Delta 2 Protocols for entering the Queenstown Ice Arena

 

1. Everyone enters from the main front doors as usual, after the booking organizer has cleared you to do so (when the previous group on ice has exited through the portacom exit door).  

 

2. After the ice session, everyone will exit directly off the ice up the stairs and into the rear portacoms #2 and #3 (where they can remove skates) and ultimately leave the premises through the rear fire exit doors up the stairs.

 

3. Masks should be worn before players enter the ice surface and put back on as soon as possible after they have left the ice surface.  Children under 12 are not required to wear masks.

 

4. We will need the first on-ice group out of the main building before we can let the second on-ice group into the building, which is why entry and exits on/off the ice need to be as quick as possible to keep us under the 50 person indoor rule at all times.

It will be important to not have your players arrive too early, as they will not be permitted into the building until those already on the ice have exited directly into the portacoms.   

 

5. Timing will be critical to remain on schedule, so all players should have dressed before arriving at the rink.

Helmet on, gloves on, stick in one hand, skates in the other.

Players should only need to put their skates on when entering the rink.

If a player has plastic skate guards, they could even put skates on the outside to save additional time.  

 

6. No bags are to be brought in as much as possible to enable quick movement in/out of the building.

Any bags brought in should be left on the far section of the bleachers (before getting on the ice) so they can be grabbed quickly when exiting directly after their ice session into outside portacoms #2 and #3.

 

7. Spectators are not allowed, only on-ice participants, as we are only allowed 50 persons in the building.  

 

8. Changing room #1 will be locked while under Delta level 2, so that exits out of the building to portacoms #2 and #3 are as quick as possible.      

 

9. Everyone must sign in. We will have QR code signs and manual sign-in sheets at different areas around the rink, so you don’t need to scan in at the entry doors when hands are full of gear, but you must scan in/sign in at some point during your stay at the ice arena, this is for their own personal tracking records as well as ours.

 

10. In addition, we will require attendance lists from all organizers of any booked ice session, so that nobody is missed (especially children who do not have phones to scan in and could forget to sign in).

These lists should be emailed to: info@queenstownicearena.co.nz and to queenstownicehockeyclub@gmail.com  immediately after your ice booking.

Failure to do so could result in you not being allowed to book any further ice until your attendance list has been provided.

 

11. Goalies could be allowed to enter before players, as they do require a bit more time to get dressed (there are generally only two goalies per session so they shouldn’t put us over the 50 person limit). However, goalies should first get permission from the organizer monitoring the front door that they are ok to enter early and that this will not result in the 50 person limit being exceeded.

Goalies (and players) should get changed on the far section of the stands so that any belongings can be quickly picked up after their ice session is over whilst exiting up the stairs and into the portacoms.

 

 

NOTE 

• Players must abide by protocols

• Confirm your intention to be at practice promptly.

• Make sure you have downloaded COVID tracing app and use it whenever requested. 

• Sign in to QIA site is mandatory

• We would expect at this point everyone 12+ to be wearing masks when not on the ice. So masks could be taken off in the skate fitting/changing area directly before their ice session and put back on before leaving the changing room/area directly after their ice session.

• Do not park on the grass.
