Vermont Governor Phil Scott issued a new executive order this morning (11/13/20) that prohibits social or recreational gatherings involving more than a single household. The order also suspends any youth or adult recreational sports leagues or practices. The order is currently set to be effective through Dec. 15th 2020. 

The full text of the order is available for review:  https://governor.vermont.gov/sites/scott/files/documents/ADDENDUM%208%20TO%20AMENDED%20AND%20RESTATED%20EXECUTIVE%20ORDER%2001-20.pdf

The key passages in Governor Scott’s order that impact MAHA activities are as follows:

All recreational sports programs, including organized and/or informal recreational youth and adult league sports, practices, games and tournaments, are hereby suspended. This suspension shall not apply to school-sponsored sports activities which are subject to applicable Agency of Education Guidance.

MAHA will monitor Governor Scott’s updates to the Order over the next few weeks and is prepared to restart MAHA activities once the suspension is lifted.

Thank you to all of you for the compliance and cooperation throughout our first week.

As we communicated earlier, we are committed to a safe and responsible operation given the potential risk and uncertainty around COVID.  Please know that we will make sure your MAHA participation fees reflect what it costs to run the program for your kids and no more.  Our current fee structure assumes a season from Nov 1st through March 15th (roughly the same duration as in years past).  If the season is shortened, we will pro-rate registration fees based on the actual season length.  

In an effort to keep all participants safe and healthy during the occurrence of COVID-19, Middlebury Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) and its players, coaches, volunteers, parents, and spectators will follow the procedures and expectations outlined in this document. These guidelines were developed in accordance with the State of Vermont, Vermont State Amateur Hockey Association, Friends of Middlebury Hockey, and the Middlebury Sports Center. MAHA reserves the right to change these guidelines as needed and will do so as updated guidance is available from any of the aforementioned organizations.
