Hockey Canada suspends world junior selection camp after positive COVID-19 tests
RED DEER – Hockey Canada has temporarily shutdown its national junior team selection camp following the confirmation of two positive COVID-19 tests among players.
Hockey Canada announced on Wednesday that players, coaches and staff at the camp have entered a 14-day quarantine retroactive to Monday. All camp activities will be paused until Dec. 6.
The original announcement of the positive player tests came on Tuesday – three days after Hockey Canada said a “non-core member” of the team’s staff also tested positive. Hockey Canada said it was suspending all camp activities for the day, including a scheduled intrasquad game, at the time.
Both players and the staff have been in quarantine at the team’s hotel in Red Deer.
