Important Season Dates Sunday, October 4th 7:00 pm Eden Prairie 2 Goalie Clinic Email president@whamhockey.org if you would like to participate or help out. Need experienced goalies and shooters.

2020-21 Covid-19 Rules and Guidelines 1. Players (skaters and goalies) may play on ONE WHAM team ONLY. This is based on guidelines from MN and USA Hockey to minimize the number of exposed teams if a player contracts COVID-19. The secondary player rule cannot be implemented safely based on these guidelines with the number of games played weekly in WHAM and the overlap with teams. 2. Players should play in only one game per day with a maximum of two games a week. Week starts Monday and ends Sunday. 3. There will be no sub pool for skaters and goalies during the 2020-2021 season, again to limit cross exposure of teams. Goalies can only play with their rostered team and can t sub for another team. 4. We ask that players who participate in other hockey leagues in addition to WHAM make every effort to abide by the above guidelines for the safety and overall concern for their teammates and opponents throughout the season. Unfortunately, given the COVID-19 pandemic, playing as much hockey as you can is not safe and should be limited this season.
Covid-19 Rules and Guidelines Continued For games, the following pregame practices are recommended by USA and MN Hockey: 1. Dress at home as much as possible, with the exception of goalies. 2. Use the restroom at home. 3. Bring filled water bottles from home. Do not share water bottles on the bench. 4. Do not enter locker rooms. 5. Allow previous skaters to leave the building before entering. 6. Wear a mask while finishing up dressing and when the game is completed and undressing. 7. MN Hockey recommends (not required) all players wear a full face mask or cage on the ice. 8. Teams should share with their opponents any special conditions their home arena may have at least one week prior to the game so the opposition is able to plan accordingly.
Covid-19 Rules and Guidelines Continued During game play, please observe these guidelines: 1. Only referee is allowed in scorer's box (no scorekeepers/minor officials this year). 2. The visiting team must fill out the score sheet on the players bench each game - goals, assists and penalties are a must. Shots on goal are nice for goalies if possible. 3. The home team is required, regardless of the final score, to enter in the stats online after each game within 48 hours and send to stat cats. 4. Captains meet with officials at the edge of the referee s circle to maintain 6 feet of social distancing. 5. When picking up practice pucks, keep a gloved hand to handle the pucks. 6. A maximum of two coaches, with masks, on the bench. 7. Use the bench with one row of seated and one row of standing players, if needed, to space properly. 8. Goalies should drop the puck rather than have the ref take it from their glove. 9. Any player/coach who intentionally spits in the direction of any opponent or official must be assessed a match penalty. 10. Afterward, use a stick salute rather than handshakes. Do not shake the officials hands. A wave of thanks will suffice.
Covid-19 Rules and Guidelines Continued If a player is infected with COVID-19 they must contact the league by email COVID19info@whamhockey.org and inform WHAM of the team name, NOT PLAYER and date quarantine began. 1. IF a player becomes infected with COVID-19, the team will not be allowed to play for 14 DAYS (not games as typo said in WHAM Wednesday) during the quarantine time frame. 2. Due to the games being cancelled because of COVID-19 the forfeit rule would not apply. 3. COVID-19 cancellations only - ref fees waived
Rostering a player Make sure your player is registered and appears on teams homepage (registered players list - not editable by manager) with WHAM before putting them on your roster (editable by team manager). Players who are rostered but NOT registered are illegal players and your game becomes void according to USA and MN Hockey rules. This means that if a player is injured, they can NOT use USA Hockey insurance.
