Hockey team seeks rematch after illnesses TAYLOR, Mich., March 13 (UPI) -- A Michigan youth hockey team asked that a state championship game be replayed after many of its players became ill from a possible norovirus outbreak at a rink. More than two dozen players became ill at the Taylor rink Sunday and the Victory U-18 Midget Major hockey team was particularly hard hit, the Detroit Free Press reported. Some of the team's players had vomited just before they were to take the ice Sunday and others played ill. The club has appealed to the Michigan Amateur Hockey Association and the Colorado-based USA hockey, seeking to replay the game against the Little Caesars team. Little Caesars won Sunday in overtime 5-4 as the two teams played for a spot in the national championships. "This is a circumstance out of the ordinary," said John Stansik, director for the Victory Honda AAA hockey club. It wasn't fair [Sunday] for anybody to play. It's not about a trophy. It's about attending a national championship. The Taylor Sportsplex remained closed Tuesday as workers cleaned it. The city-owned complex could reopen Wednesday, Wayne County Health Department spokeswoman Carol Austerberry said. By Monday evening, 28 youths and a few parents had reported flu-like symptoms, including vomiting, to the health department. While test results to determine the cause of the illnesses are due this week, Austerberry said "all fingers are pointing toward norovirus," Thirty-one MAHA teams played in the weekend tournament. Symptoms of norovirus include diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. The virus can be spread through contaminated food or water or contaminated surfaces.
