Enough already! Wear a mask, wash your hands, sit 15 feet apart...and the rink will still have room left over. Let these kids play and let the parents and supporters enjoy watching!

60 people in XX,000 sf ice arena is not unsafe, nor too much to ask. This will at least let hockey games be played in normal format, which is all we are asking at this point.

Let them play! These kids have gone through enough. Don't continue to destroy their mental health. Also, these kids are risking injury by playing every other shift by only having 8 or 9 kids on the bench for each team

Hockey facilities at almost all levels below NHL are sparsely populated at best and social distance is easily maintained. USA Hockey and rinks are requiring masks, sanitizing, requiring social distance, and limiting contact. Rinks are also well ventilated. Since return to play in June, there have been no reported cases in Western PA. The 25 person limitation is overly burdensome and puts hockey facilities and hockey organizations out of business with no scientific basis supporting that number. A hockey game requires a limit of at least twice that.

Please reconsider to raise the capacity to allow for full teams, officials, coaches, staff, and medical personnel.

The limit should be 25% building capacity. If a grocery or box store can have over 500 people no reason a gym or rink should be limited to 60 people

I have a figure skater and there is no reason why parents should not be able to watch tests and competitions in a huge ice rink where social distancing is easy!

If my daughter can have 21 kids in her 4th grade classroom at school spaced maybe 4 ft apart, then playing ice hockey in a huge rink should be allowed. These kids look forward to this and need t I get back to normal activity. Our home rink has 3 ice rinks, really comprised b o 3 buildings that separated by hallways, but yet unable to m play any games based on these restrictions. It's unfair to the hockey players since any outdoor sports are being played sometimes with many more players on the fielderly and spectators. Even if parents can't watch the kids deserve to play and can play safely.

My children play ice hockey. These are huge venues that are much larger than my local gym that has a capacity limit of 100. It’s impossible for teams to play under this limit when including refs, coaches, score keepers, staff. Please reconsider.

Parents fully understand the risk they are putting themselves in. Let them make their own decisions. The kids need spectators to contortions keep some respectable level of normalcy

I am signing of behave of my son. He is playing his senior year of hockey and at this point I will not be able to attend his games. Even if I am unable to attend playing 4-4 hockey with a goalie is not great either. Also if the kids are to be in the locker room what is the difference of having them all on the bench and playing regular hockey.
