Meanwhile while phase 3 allows for mini regular season games with up to 6 teams which will begin tentatively at the start of November and phase 4 allows for even more expanded leagues of up to 8 teams which would start in the middle of January.

Phases two and three will only apply for under 13 age groups and higher.
The final phase, the 5th doesn't have a start date yet and comprises of playoffs and provincials.

A maximum of 150 spectators will be allowed for minor hockey games as long as there is enough space for two-metre physical distancing to take place.
