Well, here’s where we are with the Omicron variant: the NHL is shutting down, officially just until December 27, though who knows if that will be extended. The NHL is notably being far more cautious than any of the other leagues that are playing seasons right now, but we’ll see if the pause goes longer than that; the NHL is also in the position where they have a three-week break for the Olympics built into the schedule in February and they could simply elect not to send NHL players to the Olympics.
