The Summerside Western Capitals of the Maritime Junior Hockey League are playing their first games since Nov. 21 this weekend, and they're travelling off-Island to do it.
The team submitted a plan to play away from P.E.I. that was approved by the province's Chief Public Health Office.
"We're allowed to go to work, play hockey and, basically, any other times you stay home," said Pat McIver, general manager of the Western Capitals.
"We're going to be really busy with our hockey … So I feel comfortable that we can keep these guys active enough and playing hockey every day to keep the temptation of slipping on their isolation away from them."
