When I was younger, nobody wore a helmet. Everyone new and respected the need to keep the stick down and keeping the shots low mostly because you can't score by drilling holes in the roof. Oh yeah, and when you got angry, you just punched the guy in the teeth. Such is the way of progress. Oh btw, the firing is wrong. It will not move the needle at either end, but will only serve to split the middle. Let the people speak for fuck's sake. It's the only thing they have right now.

Although I favour ''free speech'' and always will he HAS to realize as I assume he is an intelligent person that we are in the middle of a pandemic and masks are essential to help stopping the spread. Yes you anti maskers are entitled to your opinion. There are 3 members of the Health Care Industry in my family 2 RN's one who works in ICU one in ER and one ER Resident .They are seeing this on a daily basis. My niece said its like a dam starting to leak knowing its going to burst at any time and you can't stop it!!!

Only because you don't believe in masks, not because of any sort of propriety.
The word "believe" has no place in a serious conversation that involves science; be that effectiveness of the face coverings or climate or even our friend the beaver. Incidentally, I object NOT based on his stance towards masks.

I strongly disagree with the thought police mentality
Is he working in a health care capacity or does he have any registered medical training? No
Did he do anything wrong at work? No.
Does anyone even know his name? Highly doubtful, I watch NHL regularly and could not name a single "singer" in the league
Was this rally so large it embarrassed the local govt? Probably

So beyond a political motivation why was he fired?
If it was me I would sue them for wrongful dismissal

My employer has had a mask policy for months now. You no like, go somewhere else.

Next, will people who refuse the vaccine also be prohibited from working for us?

I think the larger question is what happens if a star NHL player refuses the vaccine?

But can your employer fire you for what you do on your day off?

That is the massive disconnect here

There already are a few outspoken anti-vaxxers in the NHL
Carey Price is probably the most prominent

Good and every employer should do the same, I know I would fire any of my staff if I saw them in any anti-mask video. It tells me they are unsafe to have around and endanger everyone they come in contact with. I'd also fire my dentist, lawyer, real estate agent, plumber, eletrician. Anyone who is that careless and ignorant I want nothing to do with.

Interesting. Some (many?) athletes are willing to take PED and risk dying young but not a vaccine that protects them from disease.

I tend to think those doping are unlikely to be anti-vax

But who knows, NHL never tests their stars for fear of what they find

Being anti-mask is like being anti-helmet and/or being anti-cup.
bad comparison. without a cup or helmut you're only hurting yourself. Masking is to protect others from your filthy slime spewing out of your oral cavities. Both literally and figuratively.

I think the NHL should make full face shields mandatory and strictly enforce the "no kissing" rule aka the Marchand Rule.

The Vancouver Canucks should be more concerned about the fact that they're paying Tyler Myers $6M/yr until 2024, yikes!

If I was Canucks ownership the most terrifying thing to me is the Seattle Kraken
Vancouver is a piss poor sports town that abandons franchises
