Should be noted most of these players got their seasonal and H1N1 shots last week but it takes up to 8-10 days for the H1N1 shots to take full effect.

The H1N1 flu virus has forced the Moncton Wildcats junior hockey team two cancel a pair of games later this week.

The team announced Wednesday that two players have tested positive for the virus and that more than two dozen other players and team staff have shown symptoms of the virus.

The Wildcats’ games Thursday and Friday have been postponed, Gilles Courteau, commissioner of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, said Wednesday.

No members of the Wildcats organization have been hospitalized due to the virus, Courteau said.

“Nevertheless, the players and certain members of the team’s staff will be quarantined for the next seven days,” Courteau said in a news release. “As such, the Moncton Wildcats’ games this week are cancelled. We will keep monitoring the situation closely and, in the near future, we will look at different scenarios to reschedule the games.

“In closing, the Wildcats organization was very proactive and their management team deserves a lot of credit.”
