H1N1 strikes 2 players from University of Waterloo’s hockey team

Two players on the University of Waterloo women’s hockey team have been confirmed with H1N1 and five more have flu-like symptoms, according to Bob Copeland, Waterloo’s director of athletics.

As a result, the university has postponed regular season games this weekend with York University on Saturday and the University of Toronto on Sunday.

Copeland said the players, coached by former National team player Geraldine Heaney, were diagnosed by medical staff on campus and sent home.

Three members of the Waterloo swim team, who were scheduled to compete this weekend, also came down with the flu as did two players on the men’s rugby team. – Healthzone.ca
