LETHBRIDGE, AB – With the Saskatchewan Huskies leading the Lethbridge Pronghorns, 3-0 play was suspended after two periods of play.

During the second intermission the ice resurfacing machine had a hydraulic hose break, thus spilling fluid on the ice. In addition rink employees were unable to get the machine off the ice.

After consultation between the Head Coaches, referee and Canada West President it was deemed the that ice surface was unsafe to continue play even if rink employees were able to remove the machine form the surface.

The third period will be completed at a date yet to be determined. Statistics to date will not be official until the game is completed at a date / time to be announced.
