At least two players have been removed from a club in a junior A hockey league with teams from the U.S. and northwestern Ontario because they aren't fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to the cross-border league's commissioner. "I believe all of our teams are asking for the vaccination status of the players. "I had a call from one of our teams that said, 'Look, we've got a situation where we've got unvaccinated players. The league commissioner did not specify the names of the two players or their team, other than it was a Canadian team. Nonetheless, the SIJHL commissioner says all players, spectators and team officials will be expected to follow Ontario's COVID-19 proof of vaccination policies at recreational facilities.
