Wake With Elias: The NHL has moved on from Vancouver as a hub city...for now

On Monday, we were almost ready to declare Vancouver as the NHL’s next hub city.

The main reason? Well, Vancouver not only has the lowest rates of COVID among their Canadian hub competitors in Edmonton and Toronto — they have some of the lowest COVID rates among all major North American cities.

However, those other cities don’t have Dr. Bonnie Henry leading the way. Dr. Henry has been applauded for her calm demeanor and strong leadership during this crisis, part of which has helped British Columbia record some of the lowest rates of COVID-19 in North America.
