Exhibition game between Canadian women’s hockey team, Calgary Cannons cancelled

CALGARY — The final contest of a four-game exhibition series between the Canadian women’s hockey team and the Alberta Junior Hockey League has been cancelled due to COVID-19 concerns.

The women’s team was scheduled to face the Calgary Canucks on Jan. 10.

Hockey Canada director of hockey operations Gina Kingsbury said in a release that the women’s team is unable to play the game because of “several athletes currently in COVID protocols.”
