“So disturbing that when we have seen the sacrifice of so many in this province that we see someone unwilling to sacrifice a hockey tournament one weekend out of province.'
COVID-19 rules in Saskatchewan don’t allow out-of-province travel for competitions. Yet, some teams from Saskatchewan travelled to Winnipeg to take part in the tournament which included games at Bell MTS Iceplex.
While the event doesn’t fall under its purview, SHA general manager Kelly McClintock said prior to the tournament he made contact with the Saskatchewan Wheatland Wild and urged the organization not to go.“Tournaments and interprovincial competition are not permitted.“ The Maulers released a statement Wednesday saying it received information from health officials the rules only applied to tournaments being held within Saskatchewan.
“As tough a decision as it is, because you know you’re going to disappoint kids and parents have plans, it was not a difficult decision,” said Regina Pats chief operating officer Stacey Cattell. “COVID is very fluid, so rules change and things change on a daily and a weekly basis.” “The facilities the tournament were hosted at were very thorough in providing the details of their approved protocols,” a portion of the statement reads. “The North American Hockey Classic fully embraced and supported each of the facility guidelines during the tournament.
