In a release, the league did not detail the nature of the illnesses that caused the postponement, but said a medical assessment determined that the symptoms are not consistent with hantavirus.

The PWHL said an update will be provided within a day.


The best-of-five series is tied 2-2. The Victoire are looking for their first playoff series win, while the Frost won the Walter Cup in each of the league’s first two seasons.

The winner of the series faces the Ottawa Charge in the final. The Frost beat the Charge in four games in last year’s championship series.
