MONTREAL – Game 5 of the Professional Women’s Hockey League semifinal between the Montréal Victoire and the Minnesota Frost was postponed Monday night for what the league called “player safety concerns related to illness.”
The league made the announcement hours before the opening faceoff. The game has been rescheduled for Tuesday at Place Bell in Laval, Que.
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 rodent-borne disease has drawn attention in recent days after several Canadians were identified as contacts linked to a deadly outbreak aboard an Antarctic cruise ship, though no Canadian cases have been confirmed.
The league said tickets for the game will be honoured on the rescheduled date. Information on obtaining refunds will come at a later time.
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.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 11, 2026.
