Update to Ice Rink Operations

The City of Sunbury continues to monitor local conditions related to community transmission of COVID in order to inform our decisions about all City services.

Local conditions that form basis for decisions on rink operations include: reports on numbers of new cases in the Valley (Union, Snyder, Northumberland, and Montour Counties); local hospitalizations (Geisinger Danville, Geisinger Shamokin, Lewisburg Evangelical); Valley school district cases and virtual learning decisions; and scholastic sports organizations’ decisions and guidance.

The following updates to rink operations will be effective Monday 12/7:

• Number of participants on the ice (including players, coaches and referees) is limited to 34.

• Practices and intramural play only. Teams traveling from outside the league area are not permitted.

• Spectators should be limited as much as possible but are permitted up to 20; must spread out and not congregate in any one area.

• Masks must be worn at all times: no exceptions, on and off the ice.

• Private parties permitted and must follow same limitations and guidance.

• No food/drink except personal use beverage containers.

• Team coach, event organizer or other specified individual will be designated to enforce compliance with Policy for Rink Visitors. Failure to comply may result in cancellation by rink staff member and immediate departure without refund.

Updated Ice Rink Visitors Policy available here. The Rink Staff and City Officials appreciate your patience and cooperation. We know coaches, players, and parents have been working hard to ensure the safety of everyone. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust operations accordingly. We will do our best to stay open as much as possible!
