Tonight's Saint John Sea Dogs game in Charlottetown is still on as schedule but has been pushed ahead to 7:30 pm. The Confederation bridge is currently closed to buses due to high winds."The PEI Rocket announced that the game for tonight between the Saint John Sea Dogs and the PEI Rocket is on schedule," read a Rocket press release. "Although the Confederation Bridge is closed to high sided vehicles, the Rocket have made arrangements to get the Sea Dogs to PEI for the game."
According to News 88.9, the team was taken across the bridge on vans and transported to their destination (likely a hotel) from there.
For user safety, the Confederation Bridge has restricted certain classes of vehicles from crossing until the current high wind situation changes. Restricted classes include automobiles towing trailers, motorcycles, highsided vehicles including trucks, tractor trailers, recreational vehicles, and buses.
The Sea Dogs have only had one game cancelled in their five year history which happened last season when a snow storm made the team unable to get to Halifax.
