All parents are reminded that any injury resulting in missed ice time requires a Return to Play form signed by a physician prior to the player's return to the ice. Missed ice time includes leaving a game or practice and not returning, or missing a game, practice or team event such as dry land training due to an injury outside of hockey.

Under no circumstances is a player to return to team activities until a signed form has been submitted to the team HCSP. A copy of the Return to Play form can be found here.
