The Kootenay International Hockey League has announced that the Sicamous Eagles have been sanctioned for violations under the league’s COVID-19 Vaccination Policy.
The sanctions stem from the participation of an Eagles player in team activities, including KIJHL regular season games, at a time when they did not meet the KIJHL’s requirement of being fully vaccinated.
In addition to a fine levied against the Sicamous Eagles organization, general manager Ron Sleeman has been suspended for a period of 45 days and head coach Gerald Bouchard has been suspended for a total of 8 games. Sleeman will be eligible to resume his duties on January 23rd, while Bouchard may return behind the bench when the Eagles host the Chase Heat on January 14th.
