COVID 19 Information for Players, Coaches and Associations

This page is no longer updated and is intended for archival purposes only. Please check your association, rink, municipality, state, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for current mandates, restrictions and recommendations.

As we navigate through the 2020-2021 season, important updates from CAHA and USA Hockey will be posted on this webpage for North Carolina and South Carolina members.

With common sense and a commitment to do our part by following safety guidelines implemented to keep us as safe as possible, we can contribute to helping eliminate COVID-19 by doing these five things:

  • Physical Distance
  • Wash Hands and Practice Safe Hygiene Habits
  • Clean Surfaces and Equipment Between Uses
  • Staying Home When Sick or Experiencing Any Symptoms
  • Properly Wearing a Face Mask.

The knowledge and circumstances around COVID-19 are changing constantly and, as such, CAHA will continue to provide updates and resources as more information develops.
