While we still don't know if there will be a 2020-21 interscholastic winter sports season Connecticut, we do know that if there is a winter sports season both basketball players and ice hockey players will be playing while wearing cloth masks, or face shields.
Also no traveling outside Connecticut for ice hockey games, or basketball games, and no hosting teams from outside Connecticut.
Our State Department of Public Health is particularly concerned about ice hockey (we've already had some major problems with non-scholastic off season hockey). Apparently, due to the cold conditions in ice hockey rinks, a temperature inversion forms that keeps exhaled air droplets from dispersing and they stay in a layer of air near the ice surface.
There will be no interscholastic winter wrestling.
Girls volleyball was the only indoor fall sport in Connecticut. The girls played while wearing cloth masks.
