Live like a Canuck! Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 This needs to be addressed by the NHL! I find it hard to believe that the NHL is still condoning spitting on the ice. I see it every game. Not only is this action classless, but disrespectful to the fellow players and coaches, and to all; in consideration of Covid. We must do all we can to protect players, coaches, staff, family and community. Not sure of the ramifications of transmitting Covid it may have; but conventional wisdom would suggest maybe this is not a good idea. How long does Covid live on the ice? Can Saliva on the ice still be contagious weeks later? Could this be a contributing reason why so many players and coaching staff get infected? Time to evolve and get with the times. 2 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 No sweating allowed. Players must now coat themselves in antiperspirant before every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 No water allowed on the ice. They will be skating on concrete. The Zamboni drivers will disinfect the floors/boards instead each intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
