In a press release issued Wednesday afternoon, the QMJHL has postponed several games in the Maritimes due to the approaching Hurricane Fiona. Among the games postponed is Saint John's season opener, which was scheduled to take place Saturday night at TD Station.
From the league:
As hurricane Fiona is shaping up to be a potential severe meteorological event for Atlantic Canada, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is postponing the following games to ensure the safety of its players, staff, fans and officials:SEPT. 23 – #1 – Moncton vs Cape BretonSEPT. 23 – #2 – Charlottetown vs HalifaxSEPT. 24 – #13 – Halifax vs CharlottetownSEPT. 24 – #14 – Acadie-Bathurst vs Saint JohnSEPT. 25 – #17 – Cape Breton vs MonctonThe games listed above will be rescheduled at a later date.
The league has been much more cautious in the COVID era when it comes to postponing games. Even if the hurricane doesn't match the hype, slightly bad weather would hurt attendance, so this is probably a good thing for these teams.
