Is Hall injured?

[member 145483]

Perhaps you missed this:

Perhaps you missed the little tidbit that the Oilers would be forcibly shut down if there was an veracity to that claim.

The Oilers are not exempt from Alberta OH&S, Canadian Labour Laws, or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms...

All of which guarantee an employee's right to not work while injured, and to not be terminated for doing so.

Yes, management has ZERO say in it.

It would be illegal for management to do so. It is covered by Canadian Labour Laws, as well as enshrined in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Section 7).

There is no maybe's or if's about this.

Not only would the Oilers be legally screwed if any of the allegations were even remotely true, they would lose their insurance as well. Which would mean zero Oilers hockey, period. No insurance, no play. That is covered in CBA.

How dare you.

Bringing reality into these boards.

This is the Internets!

We must all fulfill our inner fantasies with misinformation.

Why must you troll us with vague descriptions of realities.

MODS...shut this guy down before he breaks the internet.

That's not how hockey culture works. The Oilers push the old school "suck it up, what are you a princess?" mantra when it comes to injuries.

We know they pushed Souray to come back early.

They also were upset that Pitkanen missed some games with an illness.

Yeah, I forgot the right to not play injured was covered by the Charter.

There's lots of things everyday in many, many places that could contravene some law.

The team handled Souray very poorly. Cut back on Hall's ice time for the rest of the season.

Yup. Thats hockey. Its not just the Oilers that do it either.

The fact that Souray hurt his shoulder in a fight then whined about being coerced to play with a bum shoulder is bs though. If youre hurt, dont get in a fight.

You know what else is illegal? Hitting your fellow employee with sticks, punching them in the face, and body slamming them. Hockey tends to operate under very different rules, so applying Canadian laws designed to protect your average worker in non-athletic national jobs to a multi-national sports league, really makes very little sense.

As soundwave points out as well, it isn't a case of "go out and play or we'll fire you"; it's pressure through a culture of "are you tough enough to be a hockey player". A type of attitude Oilers management has always promoted, up to and including Mactavish openly mocking the fortitude of players who didn't want to play through injury in the media.
