H1N1 Precautions |
Because of concerns about the spread of H1N1 flu virus teams should consider leaving gloves on for the end-of-game handshakes and players should bring their own water bottles to avoid sharing with others. Hockey Nova Scotia's memo discusses it in more detail, but simple changes of habit can help to reduce the possibility of spreading viruses around.

determined based on the team with the lowest number of games played
in each division. For example: The "A" division has a 16 game
schedule, but if one team only completes 14 games, the entire
division will be ranked on their standings at 14 games in. Likewise
