In order to help mitigate a general uptick in COVID-19 cases and forestall a hockey shutdown as occurred in Massachussets, the AAHA has directed a change to locker room policy.  Until further notice, players are to come to the rink dressed and not use locker rooms.  In order to meet this requirement, the Lancaster Ice Rink has developed a youth hockey game dressing/undressing protocol that will be used beginning on Sunday, October 25 until further notice.  Please see the attached printable documents for details.

Lancaster Ice Rink will re-open on Saturday, June 27th.  In order to provide as safe an environemnt as possible, the Board of Directors and general manager have developed COVID-19 protocols pursuant to applicable CDC and Pennsylvania guidelines.  This development process also included advice from Rink Management Services Corporation (industry expert), a director of health and safety for a national corporation and an epidemiology expert.

Below, you will find two documents:  LIR Re-Opening Guidelines and Self-Screening Protocol.  Please read and famiarize yourself with the contents of these two documents before coming to the rink.  When you arrive at the rink, please follow all protocols.  If you have any questions, please email GM Spencer Fiel at lirgm@comcast.net.
