From the league:
Following a positive test result for Covid-19, a player from the Saint John Sea Dogs has been placed in isolation.
In accordance with QMJHL Covid-19 protocols that have been approved by Public Health Officials from each of the four provinces in which the league plays, all team players and staff members were tested, and all the results came back negative. As a precaution, a second test was administered, and all the results were once again negative.
We continue to work closely with Public Health Officials in each province and are following the situation closely to ensure the security and well-being of all those involved.
The Sea Dogs are still scheduled to play their final two games before the holiday break on Friday and Saturday at TD Station. Saturday's game will be played in front of a crowd limited to 50% capacity due to the province's mandatory order beginning late Friday night.
The QMJHL announced Tuesday that a player from the Quebec Remparts has been placed in isolation while the OHL has had to postpone several games this weekend for COVID related reasons.
The Ontario government announced Wednesday that the OHL's 17 Ontario based teams will be limited to 50% capacity. The Quebec government is announcing new measures to limit the spread of the variant Thursday evening. Thursday's Montreal Canadiens game at the Bell Centre will be played without fans.
Important to note the Canadiens have been assured by the government "that beginning with our games in January, we will return to a partial capacity scenario and be able to host fans once more."

Natural assumption there is it will be a while before they return to full capacity.
The Maritime Junior Hockey League is postponing most of its games until January. Atlantic University Sport is on break for exams but hasn't made any announcements regarding its return after Christmas.
