COVID-19 Update for Winterland Programs as of November 17, 2020
Winterland Guidelines as of 11/17/20
Due to the seriousness of the present situation with the massive spread of the Covid virus, as of today – November 17, 2020, Winterland is going to make it mandatory for all Winterland participants to wear a St. Louis County Health Dept. approved Face Covering while on the ice during scrimmages. We are going to do everything in our power to make sure we are above the standard for the community’s safety. Please understand that now with the “self-tracking” rule if someone in one of our Winterland program comes up positive for Covid-19, I must shut down that program for at least 2 weeks. No exception and no hockey!!!!!
I know this is going to upset some skaters, but it really should not. It’s for your own safety, the safety of your family and the safety of your friends.
There are many Face coverings out there that attach to your helmet that you can use. We have found that a surgical mask seems to be the easiest mask to wear while playing. But by far the plastic face shield would seem to be the best as long as it covers down to your chin. We also have some skaters that use multiple masks during their sessions.
So we are implementing the “Car Door to Car Door” Face Covering Policy for 4 weeks(until December 15th) or until the County Health Dept. changes its present protocol.
This is not for the rest of your life but just for 4 weeks at this time. And I think all of you can comply for 4 weeks.
We will evaluate the protocol as the County updates theirs.
I want to thank all of you for your support in this new Winterland policy.
Yours in Hockey,
Coach

2021 JR. Blues Learn to Play Program for 9 to 15 year olds
Winterland is proud to once again partner with the St. Louis Blues Youth Hockey movement and operate the 2020 JR. Blues Learn to Play for 9 to 15 year olds. Over the past few years the program has been a great success and given kids the chance to enjoy playing the great game of ice hockey.
The JR Blues program is a 12 week program that is designed to introduce first time players, ages 9-15, to the sport of hockey. Throughout the nine weeks, participants will learn the fundamentals of hockey along with players that are at a similar skill level. One week is dedicated to classroom work to help them understand game play and they even get a chance to discuss the role of on Ice Officials with real a referee from the Missouri Ice Hockey Officials Association.
The program will begin on April 24, 2021 and will conclude on July 17th.
Winterland will also hold a special meeting for all the participant's parents so they can get a chance to ask questions and gain knowledge regarding getting involved in youth hockey in the St. Louis Area.
Click here to register for the 2021 Extended Learn to Play Scrimmage Program
We learned from years of doing this that we needed a program so that the JR. Blues Learn to Play participants had something available for those that wanted to keep skating and having fun after their JR. Blues LTP Program was over. So in an effort to nurture their enthusiasm, we have developed a 5 week scrimmage program to allow the kids to play some hockey. We feel it will keep the kids skating and also allow us to better educate the kids on game play.

Winterland helps out MIHOA to improve young Officials
For the 6th year in a row, the Winterland Ice Hockey Program will partner with the MIHOA(Missouri Ice Hockey Officials Assn) to host a weekend of hockey in an effort to give MIHOA an opportunity to train and evaluate select Level 1 and Level 2 referees. Each friendship game will have Referees but at the same time, Instructors will be on the ice to help train the young Referees. MIHOA will be filming some of the play so they can review the referees work after each competition. Head Coaches will be asked to attend a post-game debriefing after each game. This is a major step to improving the MIHOA staff and our referees.
This all happens during the Winterland Friendship Games at the Webster Groves Ice Rink each July. Winterland hosts an event of youth games each July dedicated to promoting friendship and playing the game for fun. There are no trophies and no Champion. Just a weekend of fun and excitement for Squirts, Peewees and Bantams.
You can check into becoming an Official by visiting the MIHOA web site by clicking on the MIHOA logo above.
