KAMLOOPS — The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League has announced the regular season has been further postponed until Dec. 31.

The league provided an official update on its website, following orders put out by the provincial health office on Wednesday.

“In light of ongoing provincial restrictions limiting game play, team practices, and participation of players over the age of 18, the KIJHL has announced a postponement of all regular season games scheduled through Dec. 31,” the announcement reads. “KIJHL teams may continue to conduct on-ice activities that abide by the provincial health order until our holiday break begins on Dec. 19.”

The league went ahead with its regular season, facing off on Nov. 13, only to be shut down a week later. The Kamloops Storm won its first two games — both 3-2 in overtime.

The KIJHL hasn’t set an official re-start date and will make a decision when more information is available from the province.
