They do have different protocols for vaccinated and non vaccinated players. Much as Alberta doesn’t have a vaccine mandate but has imposed restrictions which do materially impact the unvaccinated. Clearly they were disincentive enough for that idiot to use a forged document
Couldn’t laugh at his punchline
Also Jon Batiste is awesome

Not a good sign comparing NHL to Alberta's poorly designed vaccine passport. There's not even an app for businesses to scan the qr code. Alberta's really relying on paper forms .
Bc for example I go out they SCAN the code and they ask me so your *name omitted* I say yes . They say can I see your ID just to confirm. I show they go thank you. So yes I guess comparing a 3rd rate program vs a 4th leugue team is comparing apples to apples.
Also no NHL does have some different rules but they can't afford tip names not to play so they are weak as ####. Duncan Keith is still playing because Oilers. While teams like Vancouver are waiving harmonic. The NHL as left it up to teams . While other leagues seem to be like you wanna play for us you get a shot. Maybe because the NHL is a international leugue more so than others outside MLB which only has toronto.
Kane probably forged something because Many Cali cities have mandates but not the nhl themselves. Hence Again harmonic and Keith. Bc has much stricter rules hence moving on from Hamonic and Alberta has #### to none in enforcement hence Keith playing. Many American cities have tough mandates vs states rules. Geographic location obviously playing huge roles .
The nhl also has super relaxed restrictions on what a player can or cannot do. They unvaccinated also get paid if they test positive and can return to play with 2 negative tests within 24 hours even if they test positive a couple days before where NFL players regardless of how many tests are negative can't return for a minimum of ten days after exposure.
The nhl is a 4th rate league and can't afford a top 2nd line player of a team to sit out to long. Other leugues know they can afford to let players sit a week or two. Bigger fan base overall ,betterarketing etc etc,etc. . The nhl is Canada's game but it's still fighting for top spot in ratings here in a population that 3 cities combined in the USA make up. The nhl has weak rules because they are a weak rating sport.
