Congratulations to our three graduating high school seniors of our 2020-21 18U Flyers Midget House teams 

Dear Flyers & Pilots House League Families,                        2/11/2021

We are still in the "Phase 4/Tier 0 status which means that we can now play against outside competition.

SKATIUM ICE ARENA COVID RULES:

A maximum of 50 people are allowed in our spectator area. Because of this we are only allowing one parent per player in our facility. 

Our locker rooms can be used for putting on skates and helmets only. So please still arrive dressed from home. Do not arrive earlier than 20 minutes before your scheduled time and leave immediately following the event.

The Skatiium’s face covering rule is also still in effect. All players, coaches, officials and parents must wear a face covering over their mouth and nose at all times, including on the ice, no matter what kind of face mask is being used.

We realize that these are inconveniences, but everyone’s safety is our main priority.

Thank you to all for your patience thru these challenging times and we can't let up continuing to practice proper behavior and guidance given to us from the medical experts as we battle through the pandemic. Thanks for your cooperation when at the Skatium.

Skatium Ice Arena Guidelines – Covid                   2/11/2021

1. Skaters must come to the rink with full gear on or dress in the parking lot near their own vehicle.  Locker rooms can be used for skate tying only. Skaters cannot dress in the rink lobby or in the overhang area immediately in front of the rink. Benches are for putting skates on ONLY.
2. Please wait to enter the building until the previous participants have completed their ice time and have left the building.
3. All hockey bags should be left in the car.
4. While a designated practice is on the ice, one parent per skater is allowed in the building.  No additional siblings or spectators. i.e. if your child’s practice is scheduled from 6PM – 7PM, one parent of that skater would be allowed to watch from the bleachers, practicing social distancing, from 6PM-7PM.  No loitering in the lobby is allowed.
5. While inside the Skatium, all skaters, coaches and parents must wear a face covering mask covering their mouth and nose.  This includes all skaters and coaches while they are on the ice. 
6. Skaters are not permitted to share water bottles.  They must bring their own water bottle that are already filled.  Please be sure that the name of the skater is on the water bottle.
7. After practice, skaters must leave the building immediately.
8. We ask parents to perform a symptom check of their skater prior to arriving at the rink.  Please screen using the CDC symptom checklist.  If a skater is demonstrating any of the symptoms listed, he/she must stay at home.
9. At this time the Skatium staff is not maintaining a lost and found. Skaters, coaches and parents should ensure that they have all their items before exiting.  Any items left behind will be thrown away.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, all Skatium programming, including leagues, classes, clinics or special events are subject to being delayed, changed or cancelled.

This includes helmet with facemask, elbow pads, shin guards, hockey gloves and stick. Skate rental is $3 per session.

For 3-6 year old classes only we allow one parent to accompany their child on the ice during the class. Parents must have their own skates. Please arrive 20 minutes prior to the start of class to put on equipment.

Thanks to Stanley Cup winning former Chicago Blackhawks player and current television analyst Jamal Mayers and the Blackhawks for offering a Rink Partnership Clinic on December 30th where all participants had made generous donations to the Village of Skokie Holiday Giving Program to help out the needy people of Skokie for the holidays.

Blackhawks Legend Stan Mikita played at the Skatium in the very first Chicago Blackhawks Alumni Game in 1988. Here he battles for a loose puck against Dale Tallon, as Keith Magnuson backs up Tallon. The referee was an active playing Denis Savard and the goalie was Skatium's Hockey Director Steve Glickman.

Former Chicago Blackhawks player and Stanley Cup Champion Jamal Mayers visits the Skatium to assist with the Blackhawks/Total Hockey sponsored "Little Blackhawks" class on March 26th.
