Good afternoon
 

As you are aware, on October 8 2021, the Government of NL announced that vaccination passports would be required for many public settings, including Arenas.  The effective date is set for Friday, October 22, 2021.   Goulds Lions Arena is Mandated to abide by this new Public Health Order.

Goulds Lions Arena will be positioning staff at the front entrance of the arena AT ALL TIMES DURING PRE-BOOKED ICE SESSIONS to check vaccination passports upon entry. 

Effective Friday, October 22; all individuals, 12 years of age and older, MUST provide proof of vaccination (compatible with the NLVaxPass and NLVaxVerify apps) to enter the Goulds Lions Arena if they are in the following categories;

  • Team staff: Coaches, managers, volunteers
  • Game officials
  • Parents, guardians, or family members accompanying minor hockey players inside the arena who are 12 and over
  • Spectators 12 and over for practices and / or games

As detailed in the Public Health order, minors aged 18 and under PARTICIPATING in an activity in the arena are exempt from providing proof of vaccination.  Our interpretation of this is we will not request proof of vaccination for minor hockey players attending a session.  However, any family members or guardians (12 & older) accompanying the player will be required to present proof of vaccination.

Details and FAQs on the NL Vaccination Passport (NLVaxPass) can be found here: https://www.gov.nl.ca/covid-19/life-during-covid-19/vaccination-record/citizens/   Upon entry, you will be asked to show your QR Code (NLVaxPass) as well as an acceptable ID.  [One piece with photo, name and birthdate, or two pieces with name and birthdate).
