What an NCAA rule change might mean for junior hockey in Sask.
Nov 18, 2024
Previously, WHL players were declared ineligible to play NCAA hockey in the U.S.
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)
Wednesday, March 2: Victoria at at Prince George (originally scheduled for Jan. 8)
