Team Warriner withdraws from Ontario Scotties

A team has been sent home from the Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Port Elgin due to positive cases of COVID-19.

Maddy Warriner's rink out of Dundas has withdrawn after two members of the team tested positive.

In a statement, Team Warriner says the health and safety of fellow competitors is of utmost importance, and limiting the spread of COVID is a top priority.
