As the Omicron variant sweeps through Saskatchewan, the Western Hockey League has announced that a pair of games between the Saskatoon Blades and the Regina Pats, scheduled for this weekend, have been postponed.

The league says the decision came as a result of multiple players and staff being added to the WHL’s COVID-19 Protocol List after testing positive.

Two games between Prince George and Victoria were also postponed.
