Here's an Oct 15 update on what's happening at the ice hockey rinks:

Laconia Daily Sun, Oct 15: "Indoor ice rinks, including Merrill Fay, closed for two weeks over Covid-19 risk"

Union Leader, Oct 16, no subscription needed: "Sununu puts indoor hockey, skating on ice for two weeks" as he closes all NH indoor ice rinks through October 29.

So, what did the Maine hockey player say to the New Hampshire hockey player after reading these two latest Oct 15 LaDaSun reports ........ "It's time for us to get the puck outta here ....... a-yuh! ....... and, don't you be breath'n in my direction!"

I read in a lengthy, detailed NY Times article, September 27, 2020, 'How to Keep the Coronavirus At Bay Indoors' that "The Coronavirus thrives in dry air" (at end of article) and keeping windows open just a couple inches will definitely help to mitigate the virus, so possibly the cold dry air present in indoor ice arenas supports the transmission of the virus from the referee to a hockey player, to another hockey player. Do the boards and plexiglass that surrounds the ice rink also contain the air above the ice surface?

Do hockey players wear C-19 face masks while playing because there's a lot of heavy breathing going on what with the strenuous hockey play?

Vermont, Oct 20, 2020: http://www.wrcbtv.com/story/42792435...oomball-league .... Gov Phil Scott said the outbreak in central Vermont "may be connected to the outbreaks in New Hampshire."
