Hi All, I am sure you are all watching the announcements, we have to be more aware and diligent to knock this back. I will be working with Minor Hockey and Riverview and all minor groups over the next couple of days and speaking with the adult groups and meeting with the Rink Commission. There are always finer instruction details that come to us after these announcements. EFFECTIVE WEDNESDAY NOV 25 - We will NOT be allowing Entry to anyone without a proper mask fully cover...ing the Mouth and Nose! No clear half masks that rest on the chin, No Face Shields and No Neck wraps! PREPARE For UPDATED SPECTATOR RULES. There is a lot involved, please respect Everything that is in place Now and stay Safe! The goal is to keep all playing. Shane

So good day everybody, I am sure all watching as some cases are growing in areas and some tighter restrictions are going on in places. Need to tighten things up. PLEASE- Social distance, wear a MASK ( The plastic mask and silk neck wrap are very close to being Mandated that they are NOT Allowed), Please wear a proper mask covering both the mouth and nose. The facility will be more diligent with this. Leave your personal opinion Outside! We all want hockey and Sport. Regardless of how we feel within ourselves, These are the things we all need to do to give everyone the opportunity to continue.

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 07.10.2020

Hi All, With a few minutes here, I want to thank everybody for a very good First weekend of games under the guidelines. A few conversation but over all it is appreciated. The conversations really stem from understanding how it works outside of the ice times. "Don't bring your personal Opinion in here." The inspectors do not care if we believe masks work, If we believe in the virus or what any of our opinions are. To have things changed, the arguments need to go to the provin...ce and/or Health Authority. Communication with the facility, WHMH, Riverview and all users is constant and we are trying to be as Lenient as we can be for the resources we have. If guidelines change, or through communication and compliance with what we have, we can upgrade- I Promise you we will. Please- Wear a Mask, sign in, watch the ice time and exit through a side door. Putting Staff and volunteers in a position of Enforcement doesn't help or change anything- We are doing the best we can. Shane

Hey All, With 5 minutes to catch my breath, I need the community to join me in a Huge Thank you to Andy Swinemar, everybody at Quality Machine Shop and the guys from Monarch Enterprises in Dartmouth. A late Wednesday night, Early and long morning today, all ice times were able to go. THANK YOU! GFL CENTRE

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 24.08.2020

Hi All, Ice Available tomorrow from 6pm to 7pm.

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 18.08.2020

Hi All, Need to get serious with the Facility Rules being followed! The reports in about some groups and persons bringing their personal opinions and wants in are not going to be passed over. We are one of the more Lenient facilities with the 2 per skater, allowing both parents and/or with taking turns allows grandparents and such an opportunity to see their skater on the ice some this season. Watching is a PRIVILEGE and we will take a step backwards faster than forwards. I...t Needs to be UNDERSTOOD that facilities staying open is touchy, what happens outside of here DOES NOT MATTER! Those appreciative and doing it RIGHT need to be help with those doing it WRONG! The ONE will lose the privilege for ALL! - Masks MUST be worn at ALL Times in the Building! - NO FOOD or DRINK in the BUILDING! - Social Distancing MUST be Observed! Shane

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 11.08.2020

GFL Centre- Open letter to begin Phase 2 To all users, organizations, associations and members of the public. As we prepare to move forward to Phase 2 with the new announcement, we all need to realize we are NOT back to normal. The upgraded announcement is fantastic for those using the ice and to allow some spectators, but there are still many regulations and reporting policies that come with these upgrades. The facility has to look at ALL regulations and come up with a pla...n that best suits our building, the safety of our employees and the safety of our visitors. We will continue to work with all stakeholders to improve the plan as we all move forward. Ice sports are way ahead of what the projected return was just 3 months ago. We still have areas in the country that do not have ice yet, and we will still have facilities that will NOT allow spectators even with the new announcement. Covid remains a threat and it is most important to keep our community safe. As Dr Strang noted in his update on 09 /23/2020, as reports go in, the privilege of watching can be taken away just as fast as it came. To continue to move forward to the next phase, we need patience, respect and compliance with Phase 2. We ALL need to work together to have a successful return. Newport & District Rink Commission

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 03.08.2020

Good day All, Hope everybody is doing well. Our Atlantic Bubble is doing Great and we all need to stay the course for continued success moving forward. I will be placing a lot of information out later today, As we move into a phase 2 starting on Oct 1st, please read all carefully, share with all members of your families and make a plan. The Facility, all minor groups and players still have Provincial guidelines to abide by. These guidelines are a Huge undertaking, please do ...not put a volunteer or staff in a position of turning people away, take turns with grandparents, aunts and uncles. Have a plan for siblings to be picked up. Please Do Not bring food, drinks, coffee into the building- Masks Must be worn. Moving into a phase 3 upgrade, projected for early November depends on the whole community with phase 2. What is happening in a couple days wasn't projected until December just 3 months ago. Shane

Day 1 is in the books and thank you so much for all the support we received at Newport Arena in Brooklyn, Hants County. We've brought all our Newfoundland favor...ites to West Hants. We plan on being open year round. Amazing Fish n Chips, Awesome Scallops, Mouth Watering Burgers, Amazing Hand Cut Fries, Delicious Fried Chicken, Old Fashion Milkshakes and So Much More!!! See more

Hey hockey community! Can you give this a like and a share. https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/244453

GFL- Newport Rec Centre 20.06.2020

We would like to issue a reminder to parents that the guidelines for both Kentville and Brooklyn both state: 1 parent per child at this time we have not reached... a time yet where restrictions are lifted (oct 1 things might change). We ask that unless you are a volunteer with 4P Hockey or contact us about additional family that you do your best to respect and adhere to these rules. We are lucky here in the valley area that rinks are letting parents in, some are not so we ask that you work with us and support the arena guidelines. We know everyone is excited and wants to see their child play, as do we but for another couple weeks we are still in this position. Thanks, 4P Hockey

Well Hello Everybody, Hope all are well. Just a small discussion on the announcement for sports. It is Fantastic in a lot of ways for those that will be going ON the ice, for coaches, organizations and users. But it also Triples the work by users in some areas. Please do NOT mistake that announcement with the thought that We are as normal. There are still Provincial Guidelines and regulations that Have to be followed. Those regulations have to be fit to the facility, then we ...have to fit to what each user can handle, then we will announce what our facility rules will be. Right now we are still under the guidelines and rules that are in place and we are still at the One parent / guardian for U13 and younger only. An amazing amount of effort needs to be done by all before we know when or if that will change. Personalizing frustration at me, does Nothing! I have hundreds of ice users to find a common ground for with staying in guidelines, The ONE will Never be more important than the Many! Shane

Hi All, Hope everyone is well as we adjust. Good Luck to all returning to school, hopefully all goes well and in a couple weeks we will see guidelines change for the better. A little Clarity- the 4P camp is kind of its own approved entity, one parent / guardian for all ages. All other renters, right now, It is 0ne parent/guardian for u9, u11 & u13(small upgrade) only. I do hope to upgrade this but we need to get into the new routine and become a team, the rules are not mine ...or the employees, we have guidelines and Laws to follow, and expenses to keep as low as possible to be able to offer ice to our community. Items of concern; - No Food or Drink brought in. Sneaking in with a coffee and hanging your mask off your ear because you have one is Not an excuse, if you want a coffee, stay outside and enjoy it. - The Stands are NOT in use yet!!!!!!!! - Please use dressing room exit doors to leave the building, we are having way to much backflow thru the front entrance. Myself, Robbie and Tyler are asking for your support, there is No Statement to be made by bringing a personal opinion here, I do NOT want to take away the parent / Guardian, but it would have to be the next step.

Good morning everyone, Hope all is well. Here we are on track for a Saturday start with the 4P Hockey program. 4P has an approved plan by us and will run pretty close to Kentville, small differences due to our buildings being different and We will be sending those out today. I will also be sending out our procedures and protocols as we get ready to start. A lot of time goes into what we are starting with, we have to stay within Guidelines and look at our building, community ...and staff health and safety. Please send any questions and suggestions to me, if there is anything we can change staying within guidelines, we certainly will, we have to start somewhere. Just a few notes: Masks are Mandatory at all times in the building. If you have a medical exemption, please provide proof (Doctors Note) to the manager, we do not need to know the reason. For those age groups where a Parent / Guardian is allowed, there are social distance markers on the outside of the rink boards, there is No access to the stands or warm room at this time. I will be sending a bulk email shortly with all the attachments to most of my contacts and will place things on here sometime today. Stay Positive, The Skills and Development plans that I know are being put together are going to All Better Players. Talk Soon. Shane See more

There is Nothing about it starting off that is Normal, The Community is ready for some ice availability for some exercise, keep skills getting better and get some cold air flowing around them. I know there will be all different opinions, as we go, Please follow the rules in front of us, send in your questions and/or your thoughts, we all have to start somewhere and change and work together as it goes.

Congratulation to Melissa Jodrey on winning 50% off your camp registration. Stay tuned to more contests in the future and more Matthew McCarthy videos.

West Hants Minor Hockey Association is working diligently behind the scenes to plan our upcoming 2020-21 hockey season. Hockey Nova Scotia has rolled out their Rebound Plan (you can find a copy on our website) that includes a 3 Phase approach to for getting our game back up and running with a start date for tryouts to begin on October 1st. As you know, each season team creation, ice rental and registration fees are based on numbers and therefore we would like to get a projection as to how many players we might expect this coming season. We want to ensure ice is secured accordingly and that our coaches and managers are in place and ready to go. I would encourage anyone who is planning to register to please take a moment to compete the attached survey link https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/237996 There will be no fees at this time and official Registration will not be open until late August or early fall this year. This way we can continue to plan for what our season might look like this year while we wait out the unknown. Thank you for your cooperation on this!

Reminder we need your registration forms so we can finalize divisions and determine what we need for ice. We know there are questions on schedules, we were able... to finalize a draft today just need to have it gone over for quality control reasons We will say Monday - Wednesday - Saturday for the most part will be our male division nights ( with some deviation from time to time due to amount of ice blocks needed). Tuesday - Thursday and Sunday’s will be our female nights. We understand people need to plan around work and family time, we are doing our best to ensure our schedule is as user friendly as possible. There will be challenges at times for people but we are doing the best we can. This is a 4 week camp (for the most part) with a few times outside that window. Our goal is to provide options for families over a longer haul than just a traditional week camp, with our schedule you will have your son and daughter with ice options for that period of time. Thanks again, please send us your form if you haven’t yet.

Hopefully we all do our part and nip this over the next few months. Stay Safe and have a Great Spring & Summer.

HANTS CONCRETE CUP!!! Wow what a Weekend- First round goes Shockingly Fast as both series are done in 2 games. First Game- Brad McNeil Stellar goaltending allowed the Bear to pick away offensively and take down Indian Brook in 2 straight. A spirited affair, Lake found away to keep his troops calm as he could and it proved to be the difference as penalties and losing players hurt Indian Brook. Game 2- Falmouth found a way to take it in 2 straight, Nathan Vienot and Hartlin ha...d the guys ready but the bounces just weren't going their way. Not calling it upset but a shocker this isn't going to 3 games!!! Finals- Game 1 Fri the 13th at 8pm- Garrett Lake and Patterson getting the teams wound up, Going to be GREAT! Dylan Shearer vs Nick Parker! Is it time Falmouth takes over being the TEAM TO BEAT! SEE YOU AT THE GFL CENTRE FRIDAY NIGHT! See more
