UJ hockey fan restrictions
The University of Jamestown Athletics Department has announced restrictions on attendance at home hockey games at Wilson Arena.
Because the maximum capacity is 250, which includes all players and personnel from both teams and officials, UJ will not be selling tickets to the general public at this time.
Only pass lists submitted by each team and UJ students, faculty, staff, and Jimmie Booster Club members with ID will be admitted to the game until capacity is reached. Once capacity is reached no further admittance to the game will be permitted.
Doors to the game will not open until one hour before puck drop. Fans that do attend games at Wilson Arena must wear masks at all times.
If conditions change UJ will announce adjusted protocols when they become available.
The ACHA Division I Jimmies are scheduled to open at home on Oct. 23 hosting Minot State at 7 p.m. The D-I team currently has 20 home games scheduled through April 2.
