NTXHL Representatives & Association Presidents,
Please find below a cover letter regarding the attached new policy from USA Hockey on Locker Room Supervision that was passed at the recent 2010 Annual Congress.  As mentioned at last weekend's TAHA Annual Meeting, several related incidents have occurred this year, one of which was in Texas in February.  Please review the new policy closely and contact USA Hockey Member Services or your NTXHL VP's - Jamie Appell or Chris Watson, if you have any questions. 

In order to create fair, reasonable and competitive play, TAHA has adopted the earliest tryout schedule for the 2010-11 season.   See attached document for further details and dates.

 

To all USA Hockey Local Programs:

This is to alert you of a security issue regarding locker room activity involving youth hockey players which happened recently.

A man in his 60's was able to enter locker rooms when players were changing and showering. He asked them questions and attempted to collect contact information. In addition, it appears this man entered other locker rooms while the players were on the ice and may have taken identification information from clothing.   He claimed he was an equipment supplier agent, which was a ruse to get information from players. Police were summoned; the man was questioned, photographed and escorted out of the facility.

It is imperative that all local programs have an adult (coach, assistant coach, team manager) present in the locker room, or at the locker room door, to assure that only players, coaches and approved team personnel are permitted in the locker room.

Further, coaches/team managers must personally monitor the locker room environment at all times while players are present and also make sure the locker room is appropriately secured during times when players are on the ice.

Please make sure this information is shared with those appropriate and thank you in advance for your immediate and on-going attention to this matter.
