LONGUEUIL, Que. — The Chicoutimi Sagueneens suspended team activities Saturday after a team staff member tested positive for COVID-19.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League says the team’s players and staff will all be isolated and tested.

Public health officials from the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region have been notified by the QMJHL and will look into the nature of contact among players and staff.

As a preventative measure, Saturday’s game between the Rimouski Oceanic and Baie-Comeau Drakkar was postponed, the QMJHL said in a release.

Rimouski played Chicoutimi last Tuesday in a game that had been rescheduled from Oct. 25. Chicoutimi’s last game prior to Tuesday was an Oct. 11 date against the Shawinigan Cataractes.
