Like Adam Silver said a couple weeks ago, covid is never going away. Makes no sense to continue shutting sports/businesses down. Gotta learn to live with it. I have read of very few, if any players who've suffered severe symptoms this season unlike last season. Seems everyone is either asymptomatic or experiencing incredibly minor symptoms.
My sister and dad are both currently positive for covid and they're basically just normal healthy people being forced to stay inside, despite the vaccinations clearly working for them.
Just stop testing asymptomatic players across all leagues.

I think everything happened too fast.
What you are saying will be policy a month from now, but IIHF can't work around what are Alberta rules right now.
