Sheldon Keefe: “We can see here, in Ontario and in Canada, that we have done a really good job and we are benefitting from that as an organization… We have been able to run and operate Phase 2 very efficiently”

On a day that was about hockey being back, the players decided to wear Black Lives Matter t-shirts and keep that in the conversation. What are your thoughts on them taking that initiative? How does it compare to your playing days? Do you think you would’ve seen something similar back then?

Keefe: I think it is really difficult to relate to when I was playing, or anything like that, when you think about it. I think it was a great initiative by our players, one our organization is very supportive of. As you mention, on a day when everyone wants to talk about hockey and is getting excited about playing, it is important to have that Black Lives Matter movement be prevalent.
