Two players taking part in Canada's selection camp for the 2020 IIHF World Junior Championship tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday.

Hockey Canada announced the two players have been quarantined at the team's hotel in Red Deer, Alberta.
An intrasquad scrimmage to be played at Westerner Park Centrium in Red Deer on Tuesday was canceled.
"As per Hockey Canada's safety protocols, all players, coaches and staff members took mandatory COVID-19 tests upon arrival at camp and have continued to be tested regularly throughout the past 10 days," Hockey Canada senior vice president of national teams Scott Salmond said. "For precautionary reasons, we will also ensure that all players and team personnel go through an additional test before resuming camp activities. The appropriate local and provincial health authorities have been made aware of the situation, and we will continue to work closely with Alberta Health Services. We will have no further comment at this time."
A Hockey Canada staff member tested positive Saturday. Assistant coach Michael Dyck and goaltending coach Jason LaBarbera are among those serving 14-day quarantines because of close contact with the affected person.
The camp includes 46 players and runs through Dec. 13.
The 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship is scheduled to be held at Rogers Place in Edmonton from Dec. 25-Jan. 5, with no fans in attendance and in a secure zone similar to what the NHL used during the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season.
Teams must be together by Dec. 6, and each member of the traveling party must have three negative coronavirus tests prior to entering the secure zone Dec. 13.
