It is smooth sailing for the Moose Jaw Warriors and their staff who are now living in the bubble of the Regina-based hub as the teams have been given the clearance to commence practices in anticipation of the regular season start on March 12th.

The Western Hockey League has announced the Moose Jaw Warriors along with other East Division clubs -Brandon Wheat Kings, Prince Albert Raiders, Regina Pats, Saskatoon Blades, Swift Current Broncos, and Winnipeg ICE - have now been tested twice for COVID - 19 with no positive tests.

Using private PCR testing provided by DynaLIFE a total of 428 tests were administered.

All members of the team delegations in the East Division were tested once upon arrival in the WHL Hub Center in Regina, and a second time after a mandatory quarantine period in the WHL Hub Center.

As a result of no positive tests, the teams are now in a position to commence with team on-ice practices.

On Friday morning March 5th the Warriors held their first on-ice practice of the 2020-2021 regular season.

The WHL announced their commitment in January to hold a 24 game regular season. The East Division regular season will commence March 12th with the Moose Jaw Warriors taking to the ice at 3 pm versus the Brandon Wheat Kings.
