Five Thoughts For Friday

Related Topics: Ottawa, Ottawa Senators, COVID-19

Yesterday, the NHL announced the postponement of both the Winter Classic (originally set to happen on January 1st) and the NHL All-Star Game (originally scheduled for January 29th-30th).

The league is still planning to start the regular season on January 1st, though they haven’t provided any further clarification on how they plan to go about it. I imagine it’s difficult to find a solution that doesn’t put people at risk of contracting COVID, but also doesn’t have too negative an impact on the mental health of the players. I’m personally very curious to see what they end up doing.
