Youth minor sports teams will be allowed to resume practice when some public health restrictions ease on Monday, Alberta's chief medical officer of health announced Saturday. Kevin Kobelka, executive director of Hockey Calgary, said that organization is also reviewing the change to assess its next steps. "I would believe it would be very, very difficult to have Hockey Calgary or Hockey Alberta transition us back to the rink for the remainder of the season." Last month, some hockey families and clubs around the province attended protests against ongoing public health restrictions, calling for team sports to return. Hockey Alberta said a decision about whether Junior B, C, and Female and Senior leagues will continue will be made on Feb. 8.
