The Red Deer Rebels, along with the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Medicine Hat Tigers, have announced today that each organization will be implementing the Alberta Government’s “COVID-19 Restriction Exemption” program.

For the foreseeable future, team officials say all spectators at the Peavey Mart Centrium aged 12 and over will be required to show proof of one of the following for entry, effective Sept. 20, 2021:

• Full COVID-19 vaccination
• Single COVID-19 vaccination dose, administered a minimum of 14 days prior to the event. This option is only valid until Oct. 25, 2021
• Negative COVID-19 PCR or rapid test, from a paid private testing provider, taken with 72 hours of the event’s start time.

Masks for all spectators are required, as per AHS policy.

Officials say specific policies may differ by WHL team. Either electronic or paper immunization records will be accepted.
