WHL postpones more games after Blades hit by COVID-19

The Saskatoon Blades have been hit by COVID-19 so severely they don’t have enough players to put a team on the ice.

On Monday, the Western Hockey League said nine players on the team were currently on the league’s COVID-19 protocol list.

As a result, Tuesday’s game in Medicine Hat and Wednesday’s game in Lethbridge have been postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.

The WHL also announced the rescheduling of three regular season games.

Wednesday, Feb. 2: Saskatoon at Regina (originally scheduled for Jan. 8)

Saturday, Feb. 12: Regina at Saskatoon (originally scheduled for Jan. 7)
