2020 Return To Play – U21

Return to Play – Jr C Sept 10 Update<-link to pdf

Evaluations
• Associations create 1 evaluation cohort of no more than 50 participants
• Coaches/Associations MUST have their team roster down to 23 players (2 of which must
be goaltenders) by September 29, 2020 to allow for the mandatory 14-day isolation
period prior to creating a new cohort for the first game of the season (tentatively
scheduled for Oct 14)

Sister Team Concept
• After teams are formed, there will be mandatory 14-day isolation period prior to the
first game of the season (tentatively scheduled for October 14, 2020)
o Teams are permitted to practice on their own leading up to Oct 14
• After 14-days teams are free to create a ‘New Cohort’
o Two teams will pair together to create a cohort and play a 3-game series over
the course of 1 week
• After the 3-game series, there will be another 14-day isolation period where teams will
practice on their own
• They will then pair with a new team and create another ‘New Cohort’ for another series
• This process will continue…

Seasonal Structure
• 6-8 teams
• 21 games (tentative)
• 3 game series every 3 weeks
• Game days: Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday
• 3-week cycle (Game week, practice week, practice week, etc.)
