Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, who has served as an alternate captain for the U.S. men’s hockey team at three World Championships, expressed concern regarding quarantine possibilities during the Olympics.
NHL players are scheduled to participate in the 2022 Beijing Games, which begin Feb. 4. Though guidelines have not been finalized, there have been reports that players could be required to quarantine up to five weeks if they test positive.
“It would be very unfortunate for anybody to get stuck in quarantine for that long and a serious unknown of when you’d come home,” Larkin said Wednesday.
