To help lessen the potential need for refunds, in the event the season is cancelled or cut short, we created a 5-payment plan with our registration system.  Once you reach the payment section of the registration there will be a payment plan option that you must select.  Payment 1 will be a non-refundable deposit for $5.  The subsequent payments will be split over 5 additional payments: October 1st , November 1st, December 1st, January 2nd, and February 1st.  Note, any jersey or sock payments will be added to the initial $5 payment, by the system. This process helps to lessen the burden of credit card fees if the season is cancelled or cut short.   Also, please be advised that the registration system added a new fee as of late last year.  Each payment will have a $3 service fee added.  Please make sure to select the Payment Plan, as shown below, during checkout.  We are going to try and do as much as possible via electronic forms of payment, checks or cash will not be accepted for registration.  There was a lot of confusion last year processing checks/cash, especially with the refunds that were necessary.  Learn to Skate registration is also open via the website, there is only pay if full for this.

Like other organizations we are balancing the different regulations that the State has in place, as well as taking into consideration the plan the City of Sunbury is finalizing for our rink.  Prompt registration helps us to understand this year’s attendance and plan accordingly for an early October start date.  More to come on the various COVID avoidance tactics we need to adhere to since they are not concrete yet; however please plan for the following possibilities:

  • Masks required for all of the those who are in the rink until a helmet is put on
  • No spectators will be allowed in the building
    • We have been working with LiveBarn to try to have it installed at the rink before the season begins.  This will give parents and others at least some avenue to watch via a mobile device https://livebarn.com/
  • Water bottles should be supplied by each participant, no community water bottles
  • No spitting
  • Temperature checks for the players before entry
  • Locker room people restrictions and social distancing
  • 25 or less on the ice

As we have seen, things can change very quickly. Please have expectations that the season may end prematurely and/or various regulations may be put in place or lifted last minute.  To reiterate, the rink still has not finalized their required COVID plan. We will pass along as soon as this information is available.  We also may have changes depending on what other rinks or programs decide to do throughout the season.  Our season may encompass simply practicing and scrimmaging within the Stampede program only, no outside games or tournaments.  Like was already stated, this season will require some flexibility and understanding that it could change at any time.
