Blackhawks help Detroit Red Wings in fight against coronavirus

While hockey is still on hold, The Blackhawks have put rivalries aside to join the fight against COVID-19.

According to a report from ESPN, General Motors reached out to their local team, the Detroit Red Wings for help making face masks for people who are still at work. GM wanted an equipment sanitizing machine as it would boost their capacity to produce the face masks.

"What we use them in the sports industry for is killing the bacteria, and making that wonderful sports odor go away,” Paul Boyer, the Red Wings' head equipment manager said via ESPN.
