The vaxxed community is choosing to leave you out. Pro-choice. Open a clubhouse or something if you like. Other than that, step aside and get out of our way. We’re done with this ####.

“Pro-Choice” in this case means “Pro-current situation”.

I do t know why anyone would want that.

Looks like the Blue Jackets told Rinaldo not to come to training camp. Not sure if it is because he is unvaccinated or his recent statements about masking and vaccine mandates.

update: John Davidson confirmed that because Rinaldo is unvaccinated Blue Jackets did not invite Rinaldo to training camp and are sending him off to the AHL.

Islanders are looking to assign an unvaccinated player to Europe.

slowly whittle down the number of unvaccinated players from 10-15 to zero by demoting to AHL or shipping overseas.
Wonder if a team would do this to a star player?
Wonder if a star player would forego millions for his "principles"?

Also William Nylander is unvaccinated at Leafs camp but expects to be fully vaccinated before the season starts.

Keith is vaccinated now, just got his 2nd yesterday or the day before per reports.

Great. But how was this a difficult decision?

Regardless, SureLoss moved the post so if I want to continue to mock Keith or the Oilers I'll do it there.

So also missing camp? Sweet.

Yeah I didnt see that. I thought you were replying to his post in this thread thinking the unvaccinated player Holland refers to is Keith. It can't be, must be another roster player. And the way they're withholding who it is and not pressuring to take the shot makes me think it's someone notable.

[sureLoss]

This does sound like it is a regular roster player.

So unlike every other team, the Oilers are just going to live with it?

Apparently Holland said he is still deciding on whether to bar the player from training camp.

[GioforPM]

Online comments say Archibald but I don’t know if that’s just wishful thinking from Oiler fans.

McDavid got vaccinated. He did a tweeted promo for vaccinations.

[sureLoss]

People speculating Hamonic is the rumored unvaccinated Canucks player. Would be very hypocritical if true given his reason for opting out of the 19/20 return to play.

update: The Province says Hamonic's absence is related to the NHL's COVID protocols.

Does this mean that the AHL and Euro leagues don't have the same vaccination policy? It would suck if you were a vaccinated AHLer having to accept an unvaccinated player on your team.
