Sommet Center Games
Please be sure to communicate to your teams that ONLY the 20 rostered players playing in your game and your rostered coaches will be alowed into the locker room. If your teams roster is over 20, just like if you were playing at Centennial or A-game, those players must sit in the stands. The difference here though is that those players cannot accompany your team to the locker area. Please understand that this is do to two factors. First in many cases the locker room space available for us will be extremely limited. The Predators plan for 20 players and only 20 players per team. And secondly, there is no approved path from the locker room into the stands. As you may already know, movement behind the scenes when NHL Officials are on site is strictly controlled. The only approved path is directly onto the ice.
Also, a reminder that at EVERY game you play regardless of which rink, EVERY player MUST have on their helmet at ALL times. It must be completely on the head as it was designed with the strap fastened. This includes goalies.
