The Activities may occur at the Kent Valley Ice Centre, including ice surfaces, locker rooms, hallways, spectator areas,
parking lots, and surrounding areas, as well as any other location associated with the Activities.
Participation in the Activities may involve full or partial contact, use of equipment, interaction with other participants,

• rough play or physical contact
• adverse weather conditions
• communicable illness or disease
• flying pucks, sticks, or other equipment
• defects in equipment or facilities
• negligent instruction, supervision, or maintenance.
Risks may arise from the actions or inactions of the Participant, other participants, spectators, including the active or
passive negligence of the Releasees. Some Risks cannot be predicted or controlled, and additional risks and losses may
occur that are not known or foreseeable at this time.

WARRANTIES & REPRESENTATIONS
Participant represents that he or she is physically and mentally able to participate in the Activities and has no medical
condition that would impair participation or be aggravated by participation.
