Isn't "unfit to play" usually a euphemism for "poor conditioning" or "non-hockey-related health condition"?

I thought usually non-hockey health condition was something like "undisclosed illness"

I wonder if this is a euphemism for poor conditioning or not following health protocols or...

 

[one2gamble]

This sounds more like "broke proto" than anything. IE, keep him away from everyone for a bit

Maybe it’s a euphemism for he has Covid-19. I sure hope not.

Before COVID it was.

Yeah, my initial thought is that it is something COVID-related. I'm pretty sure other teams in other sports have used that same "unfit to play" wording.

No other league to this point has taken a we will no announce this approach. Every one has called an egg an egg and said the player has tested positive for covid.

NCAA has done this for legal reasons, but yeah the pro leagues have been pretty direct about covid protocols.

Same thought crossed through my mind. Most organizations have been pretty open about the COVID announcements. Its for others safety as well to make sure they do not get exposed to the player in question.

But then again, if there was an organization that would choose to be tight lipped about this stuff, it would be the Sharks.

My mistake. I was recalling the other NHL instances. So, not other leagues, but it has been a common thing in the NHL since COVID hit.

Is there a covid-specific list or is this just the regular IR?

I did find this list through the NHL PR twitter account (@PR_NHL):

NHL.com Media Site

If I'm reading what it says right, these players are just not allowed to be with their club.

Good find. Sounds like a positive test, symptoms, or he recently travelled.

 

[Grave]

Maybe he was hungover
