We got some agitating news in the hockey world yesterday when it was reported from Rick Westhead and then John Shannon that the NHL is looking into procuring a private purchase COVID-19 vaccines for the upcoming season. This caused a big stir as obviously it’s an extremely bad look and callous move to buy up a portion of the currently limited number of vaccines currently being produced by pharmaceutical companies over the heads of frontline workers and at-risk populations.
Source confirms that the NHL is planning the private purchase of a COVID vaccine for all constituents involved in the potential upcoming season.
