Subject: AOHL season cancelled - Covid-19
Hello all,
Earlier this evening, the town updated their position and have closed programs and facilities until April 5 (tentative). This was an expected announcement based on the overriding concern for social distancing and doing everything possible to reduce the spread of Covid-19.

Sadly, this effectively brings our season of hockey to an unexpected and untimely end. Time to hang up the blades, wash the equipment until next year.
Also as previously communicated by Brent, the Year End AOHL banquet has also been cancelled.
Team reps:
- Please send out communication to your your players advising of the cancellation of the rest of the season as well as the banquet.
- Please collect the jerseys and socks from your players. Once received, please advise of items requiring replacement for the 2020/2021 season. Please try to collect this by the end of March. I would like to have order requirements by the AGM and place the order in April to avoid any last minute issues for next year.
- When jerseys are returned you may also want to collect the deposit for next year and return any money collected for the banquet.
At this time, the AGM is still scheduled for April 8th but that could change depending on how this outbreak unfolds, it's severity and who it impacts. Further communication will be sent out in advance as to the time and location so you can advise those on your team wishing to be in attendance.
Hopefully we all stay safe and we'll see everyone at the AGM.
Regards
Brad Elliott - Secretary AOHL
