Winter WHAM is following Glacier Ice Rink's COVID-19 operating procedures. Teams may dress 11 skaters and a goalie.  Do NOT skate out if you have any symptoms of COVID-19, no matter how mild.   Because we know the teams are small, and skaters are likely to miss more games than during a regular season, we are not requiring teams to forfeit if they are low on skaters. No one should feel pressured to play while sick or power through cold symptoms. Stay home, and stay well. Play hockey with us when you're healthy :).
