Several Saskatchewan hockey teams took extraordinary measures to hide their participation in a Winnipeg hockey tournament in July, including changing their team names, withholding player names on game rosters and forbidding parents from posting on social media. The teams say they believed those rules only applied inside Saskatchewan and did not prevent Saskatchewan hockey players from competing in tournaments in other provinces. The Wheatland Wild teams competed in the tournament under a different name — the "Lightning" — even though they normally play as the Wheatland Wild. Hockey AssociationThe Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) is the governing body for ice hockey in Saskatchewan, but it doesn't regulate privately run spring and summer hockey. The Saskatchewan Health Authority investigated the tournament to determine which teams from Saskatchewan travelled to Manitoba.
