UPDATE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ABOUT THE 2020-21SEASON
DuPage Stars Families:
We have secured additional ice on Sunday nights from 5:30 pm-7:00 pm for the month of October at Darien Sportsplex. Starting on Sunday, October 4th, the Varsity team and JV team will switch off using this ice slot each week. Varsity will start first on October 4th. Coach Woodring is working with the coaching staff to develop programming for this time slot that is outside of a normal practice session.
A couple of points of note:
· Our game slot was scheduled to be Saturday nights at Darien, but Darien is currently closed during our originally scheduled slot.
· We are expecting that we will continue to use this ice slot after October if we are not allowed to play sanctioned games by then.
Also, AHAI recently suspended its rule that requires a travel permit to play out of state, thus paving the way for us to play in USA Hockey sanctioned tournaments that are held outside of the state of Illinois. We are developing guidelines for our teams to follow regarding tournaments and will communicate those shortly. We are also working with Coach Woodring to identify appropriate tournaments. This situation is in flux, however, as some states are already banning Illinois teams from playing games in their respective states.

A Step aHead Program
* The goal of the A Step aHead Program is to educate the youth hockey community on concussion awareness, prevention and treatment as well as provide FREE baseline neurocognitive testing to AHAI members.
* A Step aHead testing is available for AHAI members ages 11-18. (12U through 18U/High School) from July 1 through November 1, 2019.
* Baseline testing is MANDATORY for Stars players and must be completed BEFORE the 1st 2019-20 Season practice.
*The test is valid for 2 years but a player will require retesting prior to the subsequent season if he/she suffers a concussion during the 1st year of the 2-year period.
