Phase 1 Opening
Below you will find the operating procedures for our opening. We ask that you familiarize yourself with these steps so that our first week back can be efficient and as normal as possible. Thank you for your attention to this important information and we look forward to getting started!
Arrival to the facility:
Prior to entering the building all participants will be greeted by a member of the FHIT staff in the Super Rink Lobby.
All players are required to supply and wear their own masks while entering and exiting the building. Masks are required during on or off-ice training.
This staff member will be with the players for the duration of the time in the facility to ensure they are following our protocols and know exactly where to go and when. Kids will not be left unattended at anytime with the exception of dressing in the locker room.
Attendance will be taken at the entrance. Walk-ups will not be accepted during the first phase so that we can accurately plan for the safety of each registered attendee. You must register for each session prior to driving to the facility.
Departure: There will be no loitering allowed during phase one. Groups of greater than 10 people will be dispersed. Parents, we need your help in picking up your child promptly. This will be greatly appreciated and needed for us to operate in a safe environment.
Parents will be allowed into the building during this phase. We will have a staff member at the drop-off and pick up line to answer any questions you may have and help direct your child to their designated area. This is also a great opportunity to ensure your contact information is updated and correct in GEMs in case of emergency or general need to contact you.

We will send out an email to all participants in the sessions your child attended at or near the point your child became symptomatic. Your child’s name will not be disclosed.

Conclusion
Director Dan Daikawa, Strength Coach Steve Alford, and Owner Justin Johnson have their own children in our program. We have set our protocols based on guidance from the Governor, the ice rink management and the CDC. We then took the perspective of parents and how we would want to keep our kids safe. We assure you we are taking every precaution possible to maintain the integrity of our development program while minimizing the risk of exposure for your kids.
We ask for your patience as we operate with new restrictions and know that we do not take the opportunity to care for and develop your children lightly.
Now let’s get ready to go!
