ABC 7 Eyewitness News ^ | 12.20.21

A person with direct knowledge of discussions said the NHL is beginning a leaguewide shutdown Wednesday amid an increase of positive COVID-19 test results among players across the league.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the pause on the season had yet to be announced. Beginning the annual holiday break two days early means five additional games will be postponed, bringing the total this season to 49.

“Our vaccination rate is incredible,” Commissioner Bettman said. “Four players, NOT four percent of players. All of our officials are vaccinated. All of the personnel that come into contact with the players are vaccinated.”

Commissioner Bettman said the vaccination rate among NHL players is a testament to the partnership and alliance the NHL and the NHL Players’ Association have formed, specifically since the pandemic began in March 2020.

“Throughout all of this, we had great collaboration and cooperation with the players and Players’ Association,” Commissioner Bettman said. “This doesn’t happen to get to this point without that collaboration and cooperation. Yes, the players have stepped up to get vaccinated, but even thinking about how the players had to function the last two years, to go into the bubble. I spent three weeks there, I get it, but there were some who had to spend eight weeks there. Having to adhere to the protocols last season so we could administer 330,000 tests to keep everybody healthy. The fact that we were in the bubble and I think we did 35,000 tests and didn’t have one positive. Everybody banded together to do the right thing. Maybe that’s why hockey is the ultimate team sport.”

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman Oct. 13, 2021

All players are allegedly fully vaccinated as per NHL. The following list represents the number of players who have tested positive in the past week:

Boston 9/22 players have tested positive for COVID
Calgary 17/22
Carolina 8/22
Colorado 5/22
Columbus 6/22
Detroit 9/22
Florida 6/22
Nashville 6/22
Toronto 6/22
Vancouver 6/22 + head coach

That is some positivity rate.
