Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING – INITIAL EACH PARAGRAPH

INITIALS By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at New West Hockey League activities and events may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, New West Hockey League Members, volunteers, coaches, program participants and their families.

INITIALS I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death, illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense), of any kind, that I may experience or incur in connection with my participation with New West Hockey League. On my behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless New West Hockey League, its board members, volunteers, coaches, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of New West Hockey League, its members, volunteers, coaches, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in New West Hockey League.

INITIALS I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or illness I may suffer or cause while participating in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or illness myself. I further represent that I have no medical or physical condition which could interfere with my safety in this activity, or else I am willing to assume – and bear the costs of – all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.

INITIALS By signing this document, I agree that I have not been exposed to Covid-19, nor travelled internationally within the last 14 days. I attest that I am taking reasonable steps to reduce the contraction of Covid-19 and am not experiencing any symptoms of Covid-19. I also attest that if I am experiencing any symptoms, I will not play in any New West Hockey League activities for 14 days or a negative Covid-19 test has been administered. If I am exposed or infected by COVID-19 during my participation in this activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence.

INITIALS I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with legal counsel prior to signing. I have read and understood this document and I agree to be bound by its terms.

INITIALS I have signed a separate general waiver of liability connected to my participation with New West Hockey League during the initial registration process and I agree that the terms of that waiver are wholly incorporated into this document and that the terms of this document are incorporated into the separate general waiver.
