Since the arrival of the international teams on August 10th, no outbreaks have occurred despite the concerning rise of COVID Delta variant cases being reported across the world.
The most stringent health and safety regulations have been applied by Hockey Canada, in conjunction with the IIHF, the Province of Alberta and the Government of Canada.
“It’s been our pleasure to work with Hockey Canada and the Province of Alberta again to make this tournament a success,” said Susanne MacKillop, VP Sales at TraceSafe. “These players have faced multiple delays and challenges over the last year and a half, and we’re proud to support them with wearable technology that ensures the health and safety of players and staff.”
This most recent high-profile deployment follows the use of TraceSafe’s techn at the World Junior Ice Hockey Championship from December 2020 – January 2021 in Edmonton.
