Media and Camera Policies
Directions to Media and Scouts Entrance:
The "Media and Scouts Entrance" is located at the North end of the Hershey Centre building (also known as the Platinum Entrance) and all members of the media and scouts are required to sign-in at the doors, and pick up a Majors Media Pass.
One Majors Media Pass is valid throughout the entire season.
Please be sure to bring and show the following items at the Media Entrance:
1. Photo ID (driver's license);
2. A media pass issued by your media outlet or organization;
3. A Majors Media Pass for the season (*must be approved and made available by the Majors Hockey Club; your pick-up of the pass will be pre-arranged by the Majors)
CHL / OHL Camera Policies At ALL OHL Games:
OHL fans are welcome to take pictures during OHL games from their seats provided that their photographic equipment does not exceed the following standards.
• Any SLR (Single Lens Reflex) camera equipment
• Any video camera equipment
• Any camera equipment exceeding 50 mm focal length (ie. more than a 6x zoom)
• No flash photography
SLR cameras or professional photo equipment are strictly prohibited in all Ontario Hockey League arenas without a valid Canadian Hockey League Photo Pass for the current season.
Those individuals that hold a standard Canadian Hockey League credential are not permitted to use such equipment within Ontario Hockey League facilities. Any individual that attempts to enter an arena with photographers equipment will be refused entry into the facility unless a valid photography pass is produced.
In addition, flash photography from personal cameras is prohibited in all Ontario Hockey League arenas. Any individuals found to be using flash photography to take either still or action pictures should be removed from the venue or have their equipment confiscated.
The use of professional “strobe” lighting in any venue is limited to individuals designated as official photographers by the CHL or OHL with express permission from the OHL or CHL. Any other use of professional lighting by member teams or media personnel is prohibited without the written consent of the Ontario Hockey League.
