NHL teams, players reportedly fed up with COVID-19 protocol

As the NHL is trying to keep the league afloat amid the COVID-19 problems coming back, it seems that some of the players and teams around the league are starting to get fed up with the protocols for the virus.

Teams are having to play with skeleton rosters even when the players that test positive show no symptoms, and it seems likely that the more that this happens, the more postponements there will be.

According to Adrian Dater, many players, management, and organizations are fed up with COVID protocol, with one even calling it a «Charade.» One of the main statements that he heard from an executive expressed the frustrations around the league.

«These are some of the fittest people on the planet, they're vaxxed, and nobody ever really gets sick. Enough.»

Although it was never released on who said this statement, it seems that the anger is bubbling between the league and its teams. The hope is that the league can get everything under control sooner rather than later in order to decrease the number of postponements in the future.

Many I've talked to in NHL - players, management, etc - are fed up with the Covid protocol. One called it a «charade.» The overall frustrated feeling can be summed up as: «These are some of the fittest people on the planet, they're vaxxed, and nobody ever gets really sick.Enough»— Adrian Dater (@adater) December 18, 2021
