As announced in our recent update, AIHA has received confirmation that it is possible to hold specific ice hockey activities during the current Alert Level “2.5” restrictions, albeit in a different format to normal.
Our intention is to resume some ice hockey activity for our members, while maintaining a high standard of health and safety and adhering to the Alert Level guideline restrictions.
The following announcement includes details of when this week’s Learn to Play and Super League sessions will take place, the changes required, and how to register and attend. Note: There is no Learn to Play session on tonight, Monday 7th September.
Our hope is that these restricted training sessions are only in place for a short period of time, and that we can resume full ice hockey scheduled activities soon.
