An obituary for the 2022 World Juniors here from Scott Wheeler: “There were only what-ifs, sunk money, a failure by the powers that be at various levels, a virus with no simple solution, and, most pressingly, those 250 kids, with nothing to show for their efforts, so many of whom may never get another shot on the world stage.” [The Athletic ($)]
“The NHL is modifying its COVID-19 protocols, shortening the standard isolation period for players who test positive for the virus from 10 days to five days, according to a memo obtained by ESPN on Wednesday.” [ESPN]
