In reality though...if it is a player who tests positive, every guy on that team will be told to self isolate as they have obviously been exposed in close quarters. We have seen it all over the place already. Unless they are deemed essential, hockey players and everyone associated are no different than you or me or joe blow on the corner.
That's why this seems like such an aggressive goal. I just dont see health authorities changing protocols for the NHL when the rest of those under their guidance have a different set of rules to follow.
I sincerely hope they can figure a way to do this that complies with all the local restrictions, but more so I hope they dont put anyone at risk (the optics of this would be so very very bad)....and that, as it stands, is nearly impossible at this point.
lAll that being said MLB looks like they are moving ahead and already have ideas/plans that haven't been made public that covers all these concerns?

Sports are already following a different set of rules. For example, UFC 249 took place this weekend but you could definitely not legally hold a wedding with a similar number of people
