The DCL protocols for entering venues require that only one member of the family of each player attends the games in order to keep the number of attendees consistent with the number of people allowed to congregate at this time. The league is aware that this number may change in different communities in the future and we will communicate any changes as they become effective. Identification badges had been distributed and you have to wear them in order to come into all member schools’ events. We appreciate your collaboration.

This week was the kick off of the playing season. Our athletes and coaches were eager and happy to be able to compete. We want to thank our NS community for the support of the health measures and their presence at the playing fields.
