Flames making plans to hold training camp in U.S. - Sportsnet.ca

The league has been in communication with the Prime Minister’s Office with hopes of finding out how long the quarantine rules will stay in effect, or whether there’s a chance they’ll be relaxed in some fashion.

Currently, anyone entering Canada is subject to a mandated, two-week quarantine at their residence. Unless the government changes the quarantine guidelines, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the idea of Edmonton, Vancouver or Toronto being a hub city for the playoffs is off the table, erasing millions of dollars for the local economy.

“I think you can do it in a way where you’re not putting anyone in the public in jeopardy,” said Treliving. “One of the ideas that makes sense is you identify who the players are and, yes they would be quarantined, but we’re going to extend your quarantine between your home and the Saddledome. The only place you’re going is a bubble – it’s with a peer group, not the public. And it’s probably the safest, cleanest, most sanitized place in the city of Calgary right now.

“I don’t want to be jumping out in front of the queue at all, but to me there’s some validity to that idea.” It’s a tricky one, as the politics of altering rules for hockey players could be explosive, even if arguments can be made that the medical staffers with each team can mitigate risk with their resources, testing and monitoring.

EricFrancis What about the boys that are already in Canada? They should be good to go

EricFrancis Why do the NHL teams have different rules then the local rinks ? Loca rinks u can have 20 per group on ice and it in building.

EricFrancis Seems fair it’s not that I do t think you should come here because I would too but I can’t take the hypocrisy that I shouldn’t be able to go there we both can quarantine as directed by our governments but only you can do such.. hmm seems fair

EricFrancis Not going to make it out of the first round anyway.

EricFrancis Ya, get them to go to the US where Covid is still going through like wild fire. Smart

Fan960Steinberg EricFrancis This must mean no Canadian hub city... otherwise they’d be screwed if they had to come back.

reporterchris EricFrancis They’re going to look awfully silly if one of the hub cities is in Canada

EricFrancis You’d think it would be in the best interest of the team to quarantine for a period of time before congregating. With players/families travelling from different parts of the world one COVID case could spread to other players on the team. Testing is still far from 100% accurate.
