Hello Wolfpack Families.

We hope this finds you all healthy and safe. As you may be aware, NYSAHA has permitted
organizations to begin on-ice non-competitive skills, drills, and clinics. With the season set to
start on October 5th, the board of directors has had to make changes to our “normal”
procedures and policies in order to comply with USA Hockey, NYSAHA, and the Town of
Whitestown COVID-19 guidelines.

The Town of Whitestown is only permitting 20 people in the rink and NYSAHA is only allowing
non-competitive hockey at this time. Governor Cuomo plans to reassess on October 21st
whether we will be allowed competitive play such as games and scrimmages against other
associations. Until that decision is made, we have an opportunity to provide the environment
that gives all our players the chance to get back to the ice and focus on the development of their
skills. Our season will begin on October 5th and we plan to provide all registered players with
power skating clinics and bi-weekly skills, drills, and situational game play for 8U and up. In
addition, we are postponing tryouts until competitive play can resume.

Another change that you will see this season is that the concession stand will remain
closed. Concession refunds will be granted to those who have already registered.

We also want to clarify our refund policy for the 2020-2021 season. If it is deemed that our
season will end early, refunds will be given minus services rendered. The USA Hockey
registration fees and the Active Processing Fees will not be refunded by WYHA.

Finally, beginning today, registration will remain open until September 30th, to returning
Whitestown players ONLY. Anyone interested in joining Whitestown will be placed on a waitlist
and the board will reassess registration numbers at a special board meeting scheduled for
October 1st.

We are thankful to have ice at this time and want to take every opportunity to get our players
back to the ice and playing the game they love. Our Wolfpack players are our #1 priority!

If you have any questions or concerns, please email wyhainfo@gmail.com.

Have a good evening.

Respectfully,
Whitestown Wolfpack
Board of Directors
