The Estevan Bruins will be pausing activities this week amid positive COVID-19 tests among players and the coaching staff.

Bruins head coach Jason Tatarnic confirmed Monday morning that the team will be pausing for five days beginning on Monday.

This means that the Bruins game that was scheduled for Friday in Notre Dame will be pushed back. The Bruins home game against Yorkton scheduled for this Saturday has also been postponed.

Several other teams in the SJHL have been impacted by COVID, including Weyburn, Nipawin, Flin Flon, Melfort, and La Ronge.

With this weekend's postponements, the Bruins have now had five games pushed back due to COVID.
