Dear Sackville Flyers Members,

In light of recent events announced earlier this week involving another hockey community in our province it is important that we too remind ourselves of the importance of always ensuring a safe, respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment for our athletes to enjoy and grow their love for the game. As communicated last week we cannot stress the importance of the 2 deep rule at all times. This is not limited to just the arenas but in the cases of all team events and settings. As adults, let's always ensure we are setting positive examples for our players as well. I encourage you to take some time to have a conversation with your children on the importance of making the right decisions, and if something is bothering them to always come forward.

Over the past month I have been in collaboration with a group on some workshops covering diversity and inclusion, code of conduct, and being the best teammates and community leaders for our athletes. Stay tuned for more details very soon on this.

I want to thank all our coaches, volunteers, and families for your support of the children, your commitment to always providing a safe and respectful environment for our players and our membership. 

Our thoughts are with those players and families that have been impacted by the recent events.

Sincerely,

Robert Nurnber
