from Damien Cox at the Toronto Star,
Clearly, the priorities here are in conflict. Hockey fans need hockey. Hockey Canada, TSN and the IIHF need business. Hockey prospects need exposure.
But health concerns should trump everything.
Bringing together teenage players from across Canada, the U.S., Russia, Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Austria and Germany in a Canadian province struggling terribly with the coronavirus is asking for trouble. With every other major international hockey tournament cancelled, it just doesn’t make any sense to hold this one.
Unless it really is just about the money.
