AKH Stakeholder Survey Results

Summary – AKH COVID 19 Stakeholder Survey

A big thank you to all stakeholders who gave up their time to complete the survey for us and share any comments. Each AK Hockey Club has received a summary pertaining to its own membership along with comments from its members. The data collected will be used to inform our decision making about community hockey in coming months. Our number one priority is the health and well-being of our stakeholders at this time and ensuring we follow government guidelines and any other agreed guidelines from HNZ and SNZ.

At the May 4 online meeting of Club Council and Presidents we are hoping to be in a position to have an up to date picture of what community hockey may look like this year, again taking into account any government announcements and decisions.

Stay Safe and Take Care and engage if you have time in our COVID19 Community Connection series.
