Simon Fraser University's (SFU) men's basketball team will get an extra night's rest before seeking its first conference win of the 2023-24 campaign.
The Red Leafs' athletics department has postponed tonight's, Jan. 18, home match against University of Alaska-Fairbanks as a result of the winter storm in Burnaby and Metro Vancouver that saw more than 20 cm of snow.
As well, there's a risk of freezing rain for overnight into Friday morning, Jan. 19, according to Weatherhood's latest forecast.
The Red Leafs-Nanooks game will now be played tomorrow at 1 p.m. in the West Gym — located at 8888 University Dr.
"Those who purchased tickets for tonight will be refunded," reads a statement from SFU Athletics.
"Admission to Friday's game is free and there will be no concession."
SFU cancelled all in-person activities, classes, labs and university services at each campus earlier today, including Burnaby, as roads work to be cleared and salted by city crews.
A campus update will be provided at 6 a.m. tomorrow, the post-secondary stated. You can check out TransLink's website for bus updates.
The Red Leafs are currently 0-5 in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) this year; 2-14 overall. Alaska sits 1-4 in GNAC.
SFU will then play Alaska-Anchorage at home on Saturday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m.
