COVID-19 continues to cause havoc to sports schedules

The past two weeks in the sports world have been marred by the coronavirus, and the upcoming week looks like it’ll be no different.

Sports leagues across the country are continuing to deal with the spread of the omicron variant within locker rooms, causing postponements and cancellations.

The NHL on Christmas Eve announced it would push back its leaguewide return-to-play date from Monday to Tuesday due to the pandemic.

The NHL and its players’ association agreed last week to pause the season on Wednesday due to several teams dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks.
