Weekend Sting game in Owen Sound postponed over COVID concerns

The Ontario Hockey League has announced that Saturday's Sarnia Sting game in Owen Sound has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns surrounding the Attack organization.

Owen Sound's team activities have been cancelled through December 23 after one player tested positive for the virus.

The Sting are still scheduled to host the Flint Firebirds on Friday night at 7 p.m.

As of Wednesday, everyone in the Sting organization had tested negative for COVID-19, and GM Dylan Seca said things 'were business as usual' with the club. He said everyone on the team has been vaccinated.

The Sting's opponent this past Sunday, the Erie Otters, have also been dealing with COVID issues. They've also been forced to postpone games after 13 players tested positive for the virus.

The Kingston Frontenacs have also been forced to postpone weekend contests due to COVID protocol.
