NHL Players Scared About Testing Positive During Olympics
Do you think the NHL is going to pull out of the Olympics?
NHL players, uniformly, have fought to play in the Olympics. It's important to them.
Anecdotally, I'm hearing more trepidation about going. One player I talked to: «If you test positive in China you're stuck there for three weeks. That's brutal. Guys are terrified of that.»— Emily Kaplan (@emilymkaplan) November 27, 2021
Emily also went on to tweet that she thinks:
"If NHL players pull out of the Olympics, I could see the NHL shortening the break from three weeks to one week and rescheduling some games.
Building availability is going to be a challenge though. Again, NHL is not down this road *yet*"
