If they haven’t done so already, NHL players across North America are set go through something similar on Sunday before setting up shop in the hub cities of Toronto and Edmonton for the league’s 24-team restart to its pandemic-hit season.
There will no doubt be tears and hugs. Once inside those secure bubbles, players will be locked down and segregated from the general public in hopes of keeping COVID-19 at bay.
FaceTime and video conferencing platforms will have to do when it comes to staying in touch with loved ones.
“This is part of the game right now,” said Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Jake Muzzin, who has a wife and one-year-old daughter. “You want to be away as long as we can because that means you’re doing well and you’re going on.
“It’ll be tough leaving the family, but I’m committed to leaving and going as far as we can.”
