bb2j3z Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Our Squirt team is looking to schedule a tournament in the next 2 months. Was just curious about the state of interstate travel for youth hockey in the next 2 months for different states. I tried looking online but didn't see anything definitive. My initial impression was that only things in WV and OH were possible at this time. Coach has given us options of Lansing, MI, St. Louis, MO, Cleveland, South Bend, Detroit, Columbus, Chicago. A few of these were cancelled last year.... so didn't want to try anything that wouldn't be almost definite. I didn't think MI was a possibility. We've mostly done local tournaments this season. Any insight would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaahockey Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 So it has little to do with youth Hockey but if you go out of state for more than 24 hours, PA requires you to quarantine for 10 days when you come back. Take that for what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bb2j3z Posted January 22, 2021 Author Share Posted January 22, 2021 Wasnt sure if that was still in effect.... that probably settles it.. keeping it local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind too that everything is just on the honors system. AAA teams around here have already been out of state on back-to-back weekends and doing what they please. Not hiding it either when you can clearly see the schedule on their websites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 so I can drive 6 hours East to a VID hot spot like Philly, roam around and then drive 6 hours back spreading the funk all across the state, but I can't drive 30 miles west because i'll cross an imaginary line? politicians amazingly find ways to out stupid themselves daily. anyhow, as far as I know there is no hockey in WV currently, so I doubt you would find any tournaments there. Ohio seems to be open, for now. There is no safe bet to not cancelled however. We have been cancelled from 2 local tournaments this year because our division got shut down. No way to guestimate what divisions fill and what division won't. If you're concerned about the state line quarantine BS, go to Cleveland. If travel restrictions were given any sort of rudimentary logic, Cleveland would most likely be in the allowed zone, not Philly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with that. Technically anyone coming into the state (overnight) must quarantine for 10 days as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipcheck66 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I believe you can avoid the 10 day quarantine by testing within 72 hours of your return, per the governors guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is true but you have to get the negative result back before you can - how long does that take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them at Med Express, they’re pretty available I’d say. I do recall hearing that they’re a little less accurate than the standard test that takes a couple days for results.

This information may be out of date. And, of course, there are probably PLENTY of people who don't care about the distinction, and will just say they got tested and it was negative. I had to be tested a few weeks ago and it literally took 8 days to get a result. I had it done at a UPMC. They didn't offer anything faster than that to me, and believe me, I asked.

If the sensitivity or specificity of a test is in question then it is not a far stretch to question the public policies those tests are based upon. As always, merely my .02 worth. Actual mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saucey Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 One of our tournaments got shut down right BEFORE COVID last year. After much effort, we got half our money back. I think the private tournament companies are shady as hell in good times. I try to pay as last minute as possible as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes - I think it's mumbo jumbo BS too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
