aau ice hockey newsletter - 2019 may...
TRANSCRIPT
AAU Ice Hockey - Our 12th Season (2020-2021) Normally our August edition of this newsletter would be to announce
the start of our new season and try to give our members as much
information as possible. Obviously, this is an attempting to get everyone
quickly registered as members of AAU, to help get our teams and leagues
formed, as well as to begin planning for tournaments.
At one point not too long ago, it did appear that we may have opened
our hockey operations pretty much like normal. However, with the
dramatic spikes in the numbers of COVID-19 cases that are occurring
within many of our US States (those that have relaxed their restrictions
apparently far too early), a normal AAU Ice Hockey season may simply
become wishful thinking (certainly within some areas).
Unfortunately, with an ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that is clearly
NOT being controlled within the US (and in fact appears to be getting far
worse), this certainly can NOT be a typical season.
Therefore, this will NOT be a typical first edition of the season either.
Instead lets simply focus upon some questions and answers (at least as
best as we can, during such an uncertain time).
QUESTION 1: Has the 2020-2021 AAU Ice Hockey season
been cancelled? NO.
However, to be completely honest with our members, we
currently have no idea whether the season may or may not be
cancelled at sometime in the future.
In addition, we are also very much dependent upon our local
ice rinks and arenas.
We could even find that our AAU Ice Hockey programs may
begin operations within one State or Province (or even within
one County), while not operating at all within another.
Therefore, it may be wise for our members to research local
operations first, before getting too carried away with planning
(such as determining whether our local State and/or County will
even permit hockey, will ice rinks be open locally, will any AAU
leagues function within our area, etc.).

AAU Leagues, Administrators,
as well as Team Coaches and/
or Managers are encouraged
to submit articles and notices
to:
Published quarterly for the
benefit and interest of AAU Ice
Hockey participants.
Sports for all, Forever
- continued on the following page -
Next edition will likely
be released Oct. 1st. (possibly earlier if needed)
We must all keep in mind that AAU requires that we fully
comply with any and all (City, County, State, Provincial
and National) restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

QUESTION 2: Will our AAU Ice Hockey programs begin operations in a typical fashion?
Well here comes a highly unusual answer. “We simply don’t know.”
As mentioned on the prior page, it is technically possible that within some areas AAU Hockey may
begin and function in a somewhat normal fashion, albeit possibly within a more localized setting.
Yet functioning as normal, with widespread leagues and tournaments may be questionable, at this
present time. We should learn far more as we see the effects of our schools opening.
QUESTION 3: Will our AAU League begin operations as normal? AAU Leagues are
certainly possible and yet still, possibly NOT within some areas.
Please be aware that at least one of our AAU leagues has already informed us that they have no
intention of operating at all during the 2020-2021 season. Of course, they could reassess their
operations, if and when matters do improve.
Therefore, again we strongly recommend that before any of our members get too carried away
with registration, forming teams and making too many plans, they should make contact with their
local league to be certain that they intend to operate. Also to learn about their scheduling plans.
QUESTION 4: Will there be any AAU Tournaments during the 2020-2021 season? As
with Leagues, AAU Tournaments are possible and yet still possibly NOT within some
areas.
There are plenty of AAU Tournaments being advertised, almost like a typical season. Yet some
are also laying out their refund policies in case their tournament can’t take place due to COVID-19.
As with concerns over the availability of a local League, it would be prudent to investigate COVID-
19 restrictions within the area where you may be considering as a Tournament locale.
It may also be prudent to inquire about Refund Policies before sending a Deposit and maybe even
delay in sending any deposits to be more certain that a tournament may actually occur.
QUESTION 5: Should we quickly obtain our AAU membership during the month of
August as usual? Please understand that you may obtain your AAU membership on
August 15th or later if you wish. However, there is also no big rush.
The online AAU membership process is rather quick and easy, also Team (Club) membership and
even forming a League and/or Tournament. Therefore, it’s OK to wait until you are certain that:
your State, Province and/or County will even permit hockey,
local rinks will in fact be open,
local Team, League and/or Tournaments will be available,
Again, please check with your local AAU Hockey League. If available then certainly feel free to get your
AAU membership. If NOT available within your area then remember to keep checking back.
Things may very well change.

Youth League Plans:
Chicago United Hockey League (CUHL) - Plans to open about like normal (State and Rinks
permitting) as about mid-September. However, if not possible in September then a back-up plan
is in the works for a condensed-season opening in October or November.
Choice - Minnesota Made Hockey - No current announcement, although 2020-21 registration is
open, The state of Minnesota currently allows youth sports with some restrictions.
Great Lakes Hockey League - Plans to open about like normal (State and Rinks permitting). At
present, rinks are open.
Michigan Amateur Youth Hockey League (MAYHL) - Plans to open about like normal (State
and Rinks permitting). However, at present Michigan rinks within much of the AAU Hockey area
are closed and the State has not yet allowed hockey (regions 6 & 8, northern Michigan are open).
NE Amateur Hockey League (NEAHL) - Plans to open about like normal (States and Rinks
permitting) with Jamborees beginning in early October. Currently rinks are open in Connecticut,
New Hampshire and Vermont. Rhode Island expect to open soon. Massachusetts rinks have
opened for practice and skills (no games authorized at this time, coming soon).
Ontario Rep Hockey League (ORHL) - Things are heading in the right direction in Canada. The
government is taking things very slowly and monitoring situations very carefully. The ORHL is
planning on operating as close to normal as possible. Indoor gatherings has just increased from
10 – 50 people which is a good sign. The one major challenge is the US/Canada border being
closed. This will limit cross-border activity for teams until this closure is lifted.
St. Louis Hockey League - Plans to open about like normal (State and Rinks permitting).
Scholastic League Plans:
New York Islanders High School Hockey League - Plans to open about like normal (State
and Rinks permitting). Rinks in the area are already partially opened with some restrictions.
WNY High School Club Hockey League (WNYHSCHL) - Plans to open about like normal (State
and Rinks permitting) at the normal time around Veterans Day. Currently, WNY area rinks are in
fact open and operational.
Junior League Plans:
Canadian Premier Junior Hockey League (CPJHL) - Plans to open about like normal (Province
and Rinks permitting). Currently coordinating with public health officials.
Western States Hockey League (WSHL) - Plans to NOT open at all for the 2020-21 season.
Although reserving the right to reassess if the COVID-19 environment changes for the better.
Collegiate League Plans:
Collegiate Hockey Federation - No information at this time. Plans being developed.

An important question for our AAU members to ask is, “Can masks help prevent the spread of
the coronavirus that causes COVID-19? Yes, face masks combined with other preventive
measures, such as frequent hand-washing and social distancing, help slow the spread of the virus.” https://
www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449
While many states and communities have tried using a host of efforts (including; travel bans, shelter in
place orders, shutting down businesses), to date the simplest and most effective means of curtailing the
spread of COVID-19 has been for people to simply wear a face-mask and social distance whenever you are
in public, most especially when indoors.
At publication time for this article, it appears that our 2020-2021 AAU Ice Hockey leagues and
tournaments may begin within a somewhat normal fashion.
Assuming that our individual governments do allow our sports programs to operate and our local ice rinks
and arenas do open up for business, there are some things that we can do and should do, to end the spread
of COVID-19. Thereby assuring that our AAU Hockey programs can remain open, while keeping our kids,
families and communities safe.
So why wouldn’t we all simply utilize face-masks and social-
distancing when ever we’re attending our AAU Ice Hockey practices
and games?
Frankly, if everyone within the US were to simply begin wearing a mask every time that they leave their homes then the spread of COVID-19 would pretty much end within 3-4 weeks (author’s personal opinion).
Non-players and non-coaches should NOT be permitted to enter a dressing-room. Parents,
siblings, spectators should NOT be permitted into the dressing-rooms at all nor be permitted to
congregate around them. Social distance! Obviously, with younger players (if at all possible) it would
be advisable that they dress before coming to the facility.
All spectators and participants should be wearing protective face-masks during all team
functions. This means while entering the rinks, the dressing-rooms and even while sitting within the
spectator stands. Likely to be required by States & Provinces anyway. Yet if not, still a good idea.
All players and coaches should be wearing masks whenever entering dressing-rooms and
while on the Players Bench. Players should have masks on while dressing and/or lacing up their
skates. Then when it’s time to put on their helmet, simply remove the cloth-paper mask and replace
with their helmet. Likely to be required by States & Provinces anyway. Yet if not, still a good idea.
All players would be advised to upgrade and begin wearing a more protective full plastic
(polycarbonate) face-shield (rather than a wire-cage) on the bench and ice. Of course, wire-
If AAU Hockey begins within your area then please consider the following
- continued on the following page -
The following are NOT requirements of AAU Hockey. However, these are strongly recommended.
Please consider these helpful ideas for operating within the current COVID-19 environment:
AAU Ice Hockey August 1, 2020 Season 12 - Edition 1
Page 5
cage masks would wrongfully permit the exhaling of both large and small particle droplets onto
others, while Full-Shields do far more in restricting a players breath from reaching others. In addition,
a Full-Shield will protect the player who wears them from having the breath and exhaled particles
from others reach their own eyes and nose. Please view the Bauer and CCM models available
below.
All players should have their own specific water bottle (with their own name on it) and
coaches should assure that there is NO sharing of water bottles. Maybe a good idea anytime.
If we all take these efforts serious then we may be able to enjoy another season of AAU Ice Hockey. Of
course, it only takes one person to ruin our AAU Ice Hockey season. One member, family, team or league
not taking this serious and we may very well see our entire season come to a screeching halt.
