Carey Price and hesitancy to resume playing hockey

As uncertainty swirls around the sports world, players’ concerns about resuming their seasons is a very real issue. They’re being asked to relocate, for an unknown amount of time, to pursue re-starting a season that may or may not be possible. Canadiens’ goalie Carey Price is in an interesting case, he’s a father of young children — and a pregnant wife, and from statements made last week, does not feel like “Michael Jordan in ‘98 levels of having motivation to win”.

Price has been in Washington state, his wife’s home area, for the whole quarantine since March.
