Here are today’s links, news, and notes, with more COVID stories than I’d like to include:
- The omicron variant is spreading quickly across North America, and Ontario announced some restrictions yesterday, including reducing capacity for sporting events to 50%. It’s not as if the Ottawa Senators were selling out games anyway, but limiting capacity still can’t be a good thing for them or any team. Obviously government officials need to do what’s safe for everyone, so hopefully this is the right move.
- According to Elliotte Friedman, the NHL has announced enhanced protocols for all of the teams.
