WHL backs B.C.’s proof of vaccination program

The Western Hockey League says its five B.C. based teams will fully support the B.C. government’s COVID-19 proof of vaccination program announced earlier this week.

All spectators will be required to provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination prior to entry for WHL games in Kamloops, Kelowna, Prince George, Vancouver and Victoria.

“The Western Hockey League and our five member clubs in British Columbia fully respect and appreciate the position taken by the Government of B.C.,” said WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. “We are committed to implementing these new required measures in each of our five B.C. communities.”
