The sa国际传媒 Division of the Western Hockey League has been thrown into disarray by COVID-19.
The Victoria Royals鈥� scheduled game Saturday against Kelowna has been postponed after the WHL announced the suspension of team activities for the Rockets for a minimum of 14 days through April 14. That followed six positive COVID-19 tests Wednesday among four Kelowna players and two team staff members. There was one positive test among a Kelowna staff member Tuesday. The league said all other test results from the sa国际传媒 Division hubs in Kamloops and Kelowna came back negative. Each team will play 24 games in the abbreviated season.
Nine Kelowna games have been postponed. They include the Saturday game against 颅Victoria and another against the Royals on April 12. Also postponed, out of caution, was Wednesday night鈥檚 Vancouver-Prince George game.
鈥淚t鈥檚 about adaptability and that鈥檚 an important skill for players to learn,鈥� said Royals GM and head coach Dan Price, about facing the situation.
鈥淭he landscape has changed. It鈥檚 about who adapts best to it.鈥�
