The return to hockey plan has been detailed by the North Bay Minor Hockey Association and registration starts tomorrow.

Two training blocks are being offered with the first running from Oct 5th to Dec 20th.

The second will start in January and officials hope that’s when they’ll be back to a normal five on five program.

Meantime, the association says they’re allowed to sign players up in pods or bubbles, with players placed in pods based on their level of play from last season.
