COYOTES ADULT HOCKEY LEAGUE UPDATE 5/14/20
In response to Governor Ducey’s announcement that the Arizona Stay Home Stay Healthy Order will expire May 15, the Ice Dens are preparing to welcome back the hockey and skating community. We remain optimistic that adult hockey activities will resume on the ice in the next few weeks.

Please carefully read this email in its entirety as the information has been compiled
to address all inquires received to date. 

There is no community like the hockey community. Your ongoing support as we navigate the current public health challenge to return to the ice is greatly appreciated.

We look forward to seeing you at the rink soon,
Ice Den Management

Please stay connected for additional updates and developments through
email, social media (@icedenaz) and our website.
2020 SPRING/SUMMER SEASON: CANCELLED
Due to the extended closure, interrupted programming and potential capacity restrictions in response to ongoing public health concerns, the 2020 CAHL Scottsdale Spring/Summer Season has been cancelled.

In addition, the 2020-2021 Fall/Winter CAHL Scottsdale Season will be reduced to an 18-Game season. It is our intent to schedule the season to start the second week of September and end in February.

The shortened season will allow flexibility with regards to potential continued delays as well as allow the Ice Den to make up cancelled programs including completing the 2019-2020 CAHL Fall/Winter Championships. Additional information including schedules and safety requirements will be distributed when confirmed.

USA Hockey approvals, guidelines and restrictions will impact programs and schedules.

COVID-19 negatively impacted the finances of our community, its families and local businesses.
It is our hope that the 18-game season and its associated pricing will
enable players to continue to participate in the league.
2020 SPRING/SUMMER REGISTRATION FAQ ANSWERS
  • All existing registrations will automatically transfer to the 2020-21 Fall/Winter Registration.

  • All players will be notified when registration reopens for the upcoming season.

  • All payment plans have been cancelled. Payment plan players will receive an electronic invoice with new payment dates prior to the start of the season.

  • All players will be required to register/renew USA Hockey Membership (2020-2021) prior to completing registration.

  • Any player who registered with their 2019-20 membership number which expires 8/31/20 will be required to provide an updated number. These players will receive a separate email with information on how to update player profile.  

  • Any player who cannot participate in the 2020-21 CAHL Fall/Winter Season will be eligible for a refund. Refund process details will be shared once Ice Den business operations resume.
REFUND/CREDIT PROCESS
In order to be strategic and intentional as we manage the thousands of Ice Den community members affected by the closure, a refund request process has been implemented. The process features an Online Refund/Credit Request Portal to track and monitor all transactions.

Please be advised that requests for credits/refunds made through e-mail, social media, by phone or any other method of communication will not be honored.

The Refund/Credit Request Process will open on Monday, May 18 and transactions
will begin once Ice Den Administration Staff returns to the building
and financial transactions can be securely processed.
Your continued patience is appreciated as we review and process hundreds of requests.
ADULT DROP-INS
Due to the uncertainty of capacity restrictions that may impact resuming regular adult programs, drop-in programs will not be scheduled immediately.

When the programs are cleared to resume, stick time and skills sessions will be scheduled first, followed by Open Hockey when viable. Online registration in advance may be required.

If/when sessions are scheduled an email will be sent notifying adult players of the calendar and any safety policies or requirements.
USA HOCKEY MEMBERSHIP
The Coyotes Adult Hockey League is a USA Hockey sanctioned program and requires all participants be valid members of USA Hockey prior to participation.

Once registered, your USA Hockey membership is effective for one (1) year: September 1, 2020 - August 31, 2021.

We encourage players not to wait to avoid potential issues as a result of adult players nationwide registering at once as rinks reopen.
BE A TEAM PLAYER
Thank you for taking the necessary precautions and doing your part to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Ice Dens encourage everyone to continue to abide by the preventative recommendations from government and health officials to stay safe.

Prevent the unnecessary spread of germs. Practice good hygiene. Social distance. Refrain from spitting on ice, benches or in any public areas.
PRIVATE ICE RENTALS
During the initial phase, anticipated to run through June 30 at this time*, as we gradually resume operations, only Ice Den and CAHA hockey and skating programming will be scheduled.

As state and CDC guidelines are modified and restrictions lifted, we will reintroduce third party adult hockey programming and private ice rental opportunities.

*Subject to change.
