The NHL concluded Phase 3 of its Return to Play plan on Saturday with no new positive results for COVID-19 among the 800+ players participating in formal training camps. This is promising news as teams enter their respective bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton. It is also the first time the NHL has announced no new positive test results since testing results have been shared with the public.
Today’s news stands in stark contrast to recent developments in the MLB. The Miami Marlins have around 14 players and coaches who have tested positive for COVID-19, which has resulted in games being cancelled and could jeopardize the entire season.
