Colorado Avalanche prospects Bowen Byram, Alex Newhook, and Justin Barron are in quarantine with the Canadian World Juniors national team, cutting their preparation for the 2021 World Junior Championships short just over a week into their selection camp. The team is in Red Deer, Alberta, about two hours south of Edmonton, the location for the tournament.
The team has had to quarantine for 14 days after both players and staff tested positive for COVID-19. We don’t know who or how many are currently infected, but it has been reported that two players tested positive on Tuesday after a “non-core member” of the staff tested positive over the weekend.
