The Vancouver Giants’ Sunday afternoon game against the Portland Winterhawks at Langley Events Center was postponed due to COVID-19 issues with the Giants.

The Western Hockey League also announced Saturday afternoon that the Giants were pausing “all team activities as a result of the addition of multiple players or personnel to the WHL COVID-19 Protocol List due to having symptoms or testing positive for COVID-19 “.

Vancouver is scheduled to play the Prince George Cougars on Friday at the Langley Events Center in a nationally televised game on TSN. The obvious hope is that they will be allowed to return in time for that game.

Vancouver had defender Connor Horning and winger Adam Hall miss games last weekend on the protocol list. In the league roster update that came out Wednesday, defenders Damian Palmieri and Nicco Camazzola joined Horning and Hall on the protocol roster.

The next update to the list is scheduled for Tuesday.

According to the WHL: “The health and safety of all WHL participants is the highest priority for the WHL. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure and transmission, the WHL requires that all players on the WHL roster, hockey operations personnel, and other league and team office personnel be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with a Health Canada approved vaccine. “
