H1N1 VIRUS: Procedures to Reduce the Risk

RE: H1N1 Virus

To ALL coaches, parents and players registered with the MGHL;

With the recent news and activity surrounding the H1N1 virus I would ask you to review and reinforce the OWHA post-game greeting procedures (no ‘bare-hand’ shakes, gloves stay on) plus follow the recommendations below, especially regarding water bottles. 

Please read the bulletin from the Chief Medical Officer for HOCKEY CANADA below to ensure we minimize risk for our players.

Thank-you,

Phil Cancilla
President
MGHL
