The report is pending confirmation from the club. Throughout the NHL, we’ve seen confirmed positive cases in Tampa, Arizona, Pittsburgh, and Ottawa, without the identity of the players being released by their respective clubs or the local media. It should be left to the club and player’s discretion as to what is disclosed about the identity of the individual and details of his private medical situation. This being the Toronto sports media market — with its ugly history of digging into players’ private medical information — and it being one of the high profile players in the sport of hockey, it’s probably not particularly surprising a name has leaked with this news today.
