RESCHEDULING FOR GAME BETWEEN WOODCHUCKS AND BORDER CATS TO BE DETERMINED

THUNDER BAY, ON— The Northwoods League announced Thursday that, due to continuing poor air quality in and around the Thunder Bay, Ontario, region, the evening’s game between the Wausau Woodchucks and Thunder Bay Border Cats has been postponed.

The poor air quality is due to wind travelling smoke south from wildfires currently burning in Canada and northern Minnesota. According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre. There are currently 857 fires actively burning in Canada, including 23 new fires on Thursday. Wausau is currently scheduled to play in Thunder Bay tomorrow before travelling to Duluth, and any updates regarding potential change in schedule with games on that date will be provided in due course.

The Woodchucks stay at 30-14, and will remain in second place in the Great Lakes West second half division standings after the postponement.
