Ice Etiquette & Safety Protocols

ICE MONITORS & INJURY PROTOTOCS

Our Ice Monitors are all SkateSafe trained and background checked. They are there to help with questions and concerns. If injuries occur on the ice, monitors are authorized to make accident reports with the City of Shaker Heights, provide first aid supplies, call family contact numbers, and in emergencies, call 911. If there is not a monitor on duty, coaches are trained to provide first aid and should immediately notify City of Shaker staff and a member of the SFSC Board.

RETURN TO PLAY & HEAD CONCUSSIONS

If a skater has a head injury, or if their coach, skater, or family is concerned that the skater has symptoms of a concussion, the monitor should be notified of the injury. A “Return to Play” form will be required before the skater is allowed to return to the ice. Please email completed Return to Play forms to the SFSC President.

ICE ETIQUETTE & SAFETY PROTOCOLS

All skaters should be aware of our Ice Etiquette & Safety policies. Coaches, please help new skaters become familiar with our safety policies including ice skater flow and the different areas of the ice.
