Ice is pretty much ready to go.  Just a few key tasks and a lot of cleaning up before the first Home games this weekend.  Between tonight and tomorrow afternoon and evening we should be able to get 'er licked.

A couple quick notes for when you come out.  There is a sign up sheet to log your hours.  Just put down your name, the team your skater will be on this season, answer a couple COVID-related questions (Fever?  Close contact with positive case?), and the number of hours worked.  Masks, disinfectants, and cleaning supplies will be available.

The work hours requirement will be five hours per family, not per skater.  If more than one person from your family shows up to work you can count the hours for each person that worked.

Please contact me with any questions.  Contact information below.
