The league said in a statement Monday that over 600 players reported to their club's training facilities for Phase 2 -- which began June 8 and allowed players to train in small groups at their teams' facilities -- and 4,934 COVID-19 tests were administered to that group.
The NHL said players who tested positive were or are currently self-isolated and following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Health Canada protocols.The league suspended its season March 12 due to the spread of the novel coronavirus.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 13, 2020.
Is this all really worth taking a risk?
A hockey rink isn’t a nursing home who cares?
Who wants them in Canada !? Not me.
Meh. They'll be fine. Flu goes through sports teams every year. Just like the rest of society.
The White house sez the cold ice will squelch it. Also the heat will kill it. It will go away .
Cancel the season!
So what are the total numbers tested positive so far? Not just phase 2. These numbers look to be in the 10% positive rate which is freakin insane. Shut it down
😂
So 30 people are fine but they want to shut it down anyway?
SHUTITDOWN
Cancel NHL restart
Whoops.
Who's missing hockey?
Let’s just call this season a bust and cancel until the new season in October. Too risky and maybe things will be more settled down by then.
And just like that no competition
As much as they wanted to lock you up and now, six months too late, want you to wear masks, the politicians desperately want their hockey no matter what. Trash the season before people get hurt.
Mothball the season to ensure safety for all those connected to the NHL. Players, families, friends etc.
Dear all players in the NHL: it's never to late to not show up.
Money is what is important to the NHL. Gary Bettman doesn't care about the people on the ice. They're professional hockey players but also they have families to look out for. If someone gets the coronavirus the NHL simply replace them. It's not the right time for hockey right now
Put this shit to bed already!
Common sense, why is this necessary at this time how about September / October?
I’m looking for a bookie that’s taking bets on which players will be COVID positive during the season. Shut it all down. Ales no sense to play under these conditions.
The NHL is a Petri dish made of ice. onpoli cdnpoli COVIDIOTS coronavirus Covid_19
Couldn't care less anymore....
Pro sports are dead for the foreseeable future.

How the NHL and NHLPA found labour peace in a pandemic - Sportsnet.caLabour peace in the NHL doesn’t come easy. But sources on both sides said it became clear that, no matter what obstacles or objections arose, NHL and NHLPA leadership believed the best thing for everyone was to find common ground. They were going to do everything possible to avoid a financial Chernobyl. FriedgeHNIC An example for other pro sports I'm sure. FriedgeHNIC This playoff season or whatever you want to call it is nothing more than a bad joke. While a few get their rich lifestyles back in near silence, many will get sick during this time. This is a dead season, never to be taken seriously in the history of the NHL.
