This message comes directly from the Michigan High School Athletic Association: 

All of us need to work together to make certain masks are worn at all times when required, and are worn correctly covering the nose and mouth.  Remember that masks are required at all times in practices and competitions for basketball, competitive cheer and ice hockey.  Officials have been instructed to enforce the mask rule by sending players off the court/ice/competition surface for non-compliance similar to a jersey being untucked or required equipment not being worn.  Simply put, if masks are not worn properly, kids will be sent out of the contest until the situation is corrected.   Administrators and coaches must consistently work on full compliance with these MDHHS orders for our winter seasons to continue. 

We thank you in advance for your help.
