General FAQs

A: Should the season be shortened due to Covid-19 we will provide refunds for program fees related to ice which were not used.

Please note: Team events and activities missed by an individual player due to COVID-19 related infection or other illnesses, such as missed practices or games due to illness, quarantine, etc., will not be refunded. The Webster Cyclones have a policy for hockey related injury refunds which it has had for many years. Details on USA Hockey Insurance injury claims should be directed to the WYHA Registrar.

A: If a player tests positive for COVID-19, we encourage the family to contact both their Team Coach/Manager and a member of the WYHA Board to report the confirmed case. The Webster Cyclones Board will keep the name of the player who tested positive confidential. When there is a COVID-19 confirmed case, the County Health Department will take the lead on quarantine and return to activities rules for the person(s) affected and will lead any contact tracing and exposure quarantines required. The WYHA Board and Team Staff will cooperate with the County Health Department for quarantine and contact tracing requirements. All players will be required to avoid posting COVID positive cases to protect their team mates medical privacy.

A: If a team is required to quarantine to a positive COVID-19 player or team staff member, all ice slots for that team will be canceled during the quarantine period and rescheduled for a later date to the extent possible. This process will be managed by the WYHA ice scheduler in cooperation with our rinks.

If the team is required to quarantine due to travel to a state where quarantine is required upon return to New York, their ice will be repurposed to other teams and will NOT be rescheduled at a later date. WYHA does not encourage out of state travel to states where infection rates are deemed unsafe by New York State officials as hockey is not an essential function.

A: Any team wishing to do this must follow all guidelines in place by NY Forward, the Monroe County DOH, and the area to which they are traveling.

A: If you are concerned over team compliance of safety practices, contact your head coach or team manager first. If your head coach or team manager does not properly address your concern, or if you prefer not to raise the issue with the team staff, please contact your Divisions VP for Travel, House, or Girls. Contact info for all WYHA Board members and Officers can be found on the WYHA Board and Officers section of our website.

A: Locker Room Monitors (LRMs) help Coaches and Managers ensure all players maintain appropriate social distancing and wearing of masks off ice, before/after practices and games, while locker rooms are not available. LRMs also keep their team in one area of the foyer or rink and do not allow teams to mix while putting on skates. LRMs (with Coaches and Managers) also require players come dressed to the rink. When locker rooms are allowed to be used, the LRM will monitor the number of personnel in the locker room and keep player/staff counts under the capacity limits.

Profile: This tab allows the parents to update their account by updating their name (fix typos, etc.), phone number, email address and password.

If a Team Staff member (coach, manager, etc.) notices his/her name is incorrect on the Team Website, this is where the name is fixed/updated!
