This is what drives me nuts these days, so many who are unvaccinated state that they are doing it because of a medical condition, yet they've never actually talked to or gotten that recommendation from a medical professional.

It looks like the exemption might only apply to players, but coaches, management, media, or anyone else who has close contact to the players must be vaccinated without exception.

Blue Jackets assistant coach Sylvain Lefebvre has quit rather than get the vaccine per the Athletic. No comment from Lefebvre as to why he refused to get the vaccine. He was hired in June.

Quote:
The Blue Jackets have known about Lefebvre’s refusal to get the vaccine for a while now, sources told The Athletic, but he informed the club of his official decision shortly after the NHL’s mandate was made official by the league.
|
Also per the article all players expected to play for the BJs this season have been vaccinated.
update: The article has been updated with quote from Kekalainen. Pretty much says they fired him because he couldn't do the job.

Just tell these athletes that won’t get vaccinated it’ll make them faster, and that the primary ingredient is actually giraffe testosterone

Imagine giving up millions of dollars because you refuse to trust science and would rather take a horse de wormer. Wow.

This is what I find most interesting. And it's great
Vaccinated who contract covid will be treated same as injured.
Unvaccinated and get covid?
You probably forfeit your salary.
Quote:
Unvaccinated players who are not exempted for the above reasons will not be paid if his team establishes, “on the basis of a balance of the probabilities, that the player failed to comply with the terms of this protocol in a manner that was reasonably related to his contraction of COVID-19 and/or any resulting or related illness.”

NHL projecting only 10-15 players will be unvaccinated and 98% will be vaccinated.

Not a betting man, but I somehow think Brent Burns might be in this group. Maybe DeAngelo and Poehling as they are hard core alt-righters...
Should be fun to watch

It's such a small number I think they are probably mostly legit medical reasons. Though what those are I have no clue.

Some of them are on the bubble of making or being cut by a NHL team which is why the NHL can't give an exact number at the moment.
But yeah it will be obvious once their respective teams enter or re-enter Canada (unless the Canadian government gives some kind of exemption).

This could solve the Flames issue of having too many goaltenders in their AHL/ECHL system

I don't know about these players by why do you assume that everyone who doesn't get vaccinated are "hard core alt-righters"? I have numerous friends who are NDP supporters that refuse to get vaccinated too.

Fair enough, just speculation on my part
That being said, in the US there is a clear partisan divide. I would be surprised if the data wasn’t similar in Canada (too lazy to source)

Anyone else not missing Rinaldo anymore?

Bernier’s Gage Park rally sees 300 mostly maskless people come out in support of PPCs
Hamilton-born NHL hockey player Zac Rinaldo briefly addressed the crowd to say he backs the party because it stands against vaccine mandates. “I’m not anti-vax, I’m not anti-mask,” he said. “I’m pro choice.”
