GUIDELINES REGARDING

H1N1 INFECTION

USA Hockey, with guidance from its Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Stuart, has issued the following information regarding the H1N1 infection, including some basic recommendations to reduce the likelihood of spreading the infection.

USA Hockey Recommends:

1. Provide individual water bottles. Do not share water bottles.

2. Regularly wash hands.

3. Clean workout gear for each practice/competition.

4. Keep gloves on during the traditional handshake with opponents.

Individuals with influenza may develop typical signs or symptoms of: fever (102 degrees F or greater), cough, muscle aches, runny nose, headache, or sore throat with potential for more serious complications, including pneumonia.

This year's influenza virus strain has particularly targeted children and young adults. Transmission of influenza virus may occur from the day before onset of symptoms and during the 5-7 days that these symptoms are present.

Infected individuals should stay home until signs and symptoms have resolved and they have not had a fever for at least 24 hours. The 24-hour no-fever timeline should be achieved naturally, without the aid of fever reducing medications.

Additional information regarding H1N1 is available from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention: http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1Flu/

STHA COACHES SCREENING

All STHA coaches, manager's, board members, and officials are required to provide background information for screening purposes.

All Coaching Staff, Volunteers, and NYSAHA Officials are required to submit a limited amount of personal information directly to a nationally-recognized organization that performs background checks on volunteers.  This allows the NYSAHA to continue to provide adequate protection to our youth hockey participants while at the same time protecting applicants from identity theft.  Your information is not printed, transmitted or shared with any parties outside of the NYSAHA Screening Committee.

Starting with the 2008/2009 season, all screenings are valid for three (3) years. Thus, all members who performed screenings last year will not be required to submit new screening information this year.

All members of the STHA who require screening for the 2009/2010 screening will be contacted directly.  If you are contacted please use the following instructions to perform the screening.  After you have completed your screening please provide the Volunteer Request Confirmation to Kirk Avery.
