The Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League (NOJHL) has announced its policies regarding COVID-19 vaccines at league games.
This covers the Elliot Lake Red Wings and all other league teams.
A written statement from NOJHL President Robert Mazzuca follows:
Effective immediately, with the commencement of the 2021-22 exhibition and regular season, the league will be expanding its current vaccination policy, as it applies to members of the NOJHL community.
This expanded policy will cover all spectators and other attendees at all NOJHL events, including games and practices.
Those wishing to gain access to NOJHL facilities, of the 12-based teams, will be required to provide proof of full vaccination against COVID-19 and follow any other safety protocols while in the facility.
Children under the age of 12 will be required to be accompanied and supervised by a fully vaccinated adult and will also be required to follow all safety protocols.
The NOJHL announced last week as well that members of its community, including players, coaches, staff and billets would be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
