New York Ranger’s leading scorer Artemi Panarin raised the question of safety and health when he made a statement about the league’s Return to Play guidelines last week. He is not the only NHL player to talk about the risk of players returning to the ice with COVID-19 cases spiking across the United States.
Panarin’s statement covered a few topics that woke up the hockey world just 11 days away from the start of Phase 3 – Training Camp.
“I have concerns about the health of players and their families,” was how the Breadman brought to light his feeling about returning to play games during these unprecedented times.
