Better than during, unless your into that. 
 

Breathing is the bigger risk for COVID spread but hard to mitigate that. 

Limit breathing for goalies to the trapezoid and the blue paint, and only allow teams to breathe behind their own blue line. 

Team with the puck posession is allowed to breathe in the neutral zone.

Prohibition against spitting
It is illegal to spit on the public streets of the City of Vancouver: clause 4.21 of the City of Vancouver Health By-Law No. 6580  says:
 
No person shall expectorate, urinate or defecate in or on any public street, lane or park except in any public facility specifically provided for that purpose.
 
The dictionary definition of expectorate is “to eject or expel matter, as phlegm, from the throat or lungs by coughing or hawking and spitting.”
 
Clause 4.21, one may not spit on “any public street, lane or park.

I'm up for one use water packets too. 

I just worry about accidental saliva being shared on a unmarked random water bottle. 

After my bout with covid I find my throat is more sensitive to bacteria. I always have mouthwash or throat spray handy. 

Replaced Gatorade bottles with throat spray!  

Brilliant.  

 

Also make sure that players use that throat spray before any altercations on the ice.

Well I was wondering more about mini waters, one use bottles or maybe packets. 

Throat spray is great maybe between periods. Also nasal rinse. Hey any precautions that help us stay healthy. 

I mean if Tyler Myers shared a water bottle with a star forward and accidentally touched it with his lips, isn't that a danger for contagion? 

I never share my drinks.

Jason Dickinson should share a water bottle with a star forward and maybe pick up some silky touch germs.
