So where did you get that info?  Does that include JV and Middle School?

If / when you drop a bomb like this, it would help if you provide more information than this.

Got the info, two kids on vacation picked up covid. Since they are on the varsity team, SF shut the program down for 14 days to be safe. None of it happened because of hockey or sports in general.

That makes sense. I give them credit for being cautious. My whole worry around letting these teams play is that the people in charge with throw caution to the wind. A lot of the rules/precautions seem sensible, but there is just so much rhetoric referring to how overblown & hyped the pandemic is.

Appreciate the update.  A 14 day shutdown is a far cry from "another casualty" meaning the program is dead and buried.

And people like Peter the Puck are causing people to feel that the whole thing is overblown & Hyped with their overblown reactions to the situation. I'm sure he would gloat and be happy if all the rinks shut down because of 2 kids coming back from vacation.

Bomb gets bigger other club players

This will happen all year until it all gets shut down.

Two week’s quarantine coming.

Why does it seem to me that you would be very happy to have everything shut down!  What's your reason for being the gloom and doom squad?

Because his kid didn’t make SF varsity.

Wow I took a break for a couple weeks and came back to people (with an exception) being much more sensible!  Kudos

There is no bomb, the sick kids didn’t contract it during hockey, they got it on vacation. Both had a fever so got tested, both fine after 2 days.

Exactly PTP is very annoying with his trolling remarks, I'm sure he wants to throw as much mud against the wall and see what might stick!

Again, no bomb as stated by Peter. The same info I got yesterday. The only difference - I was told two kids while on vacation. So it turns out only one of the two plays for the varsity team, I assumed both played varsity.

your info on Lebo is incorrect. Yes the SF player is on the the 05 Lebo team. Nobody on that team has tested positive YET. Two kids didn’t feel well, both tested negative.
 

look I’ve been saying from the start everything is getting canceled but some of you, with your made up - axe to grind bs need to stop.

The goalie whom was vacationing in SC is the one that tested positive. As for the SF player he is a JV call up, therefore hence the reason why both the JV and Varsity both are canceled as they both practiced in the last week....

Source? Coaches are being told the opposite.

I saw a copy of an alleged set of rule modifications for return to hockey to be voted on by PAHL. I haven't been able to find it anywhere to post it here. I would also note that coaches at my organization have been told for weeks that there would be no placements at any level above 12U.

[Saucey]

If we get to play, it's just going to be weird and hard. We can expect these rolling quarantine black outs like SF, particularly with back to school. Rescheduling games is going to be interesting. Think about it.... that's potentially four games if a team had to quarantine. And then if it is one of those independent teams that schedules 4 PAHL games in a weekend....bleh. It will be interesting to see if a season can be completed.

Is what MLB is doing better than nothing at all?  I wonder how long it will take until this is no longer a big deal?  We will never reach a herd immunity. Sooner or later are we just going to have to accept it as a part of life?  Is swamping the hospitals with patients still the main concern?

Well, we can't simply accept that we will have 1,000 people per day die of this in this country. Many will say this it's mostly old people, so who cares. There are still a lot of people that do care. Life would not be nearly as good without all the old people in my life.

Agreed, I am one of those old people. I also feel like this is just dragging out the inevitable. This virus is going to be around. Even if they develop a Vaccine that works. How fast can they get it to enough people that I can come out of the house again?  Is life worth living if you are scared of catching the virus?  Something is going to kill me and I'm not trying to speed it up. I just want to go back to enjoying life.  Watching the grandkids play was enjoyment. Now I watch what I can on live Barn. Just not the same.
