Quite possibly the dumbest thing ever. You may as well not even play. |

Dumbest thing ever considered.
So what's the difference between a body check and two or three guys in a corner battling for a loose puck?

Seems pretty silly. I highly doubt they actually go through with it. Women's hockey doesn't have bodychecking and they're within 2 metres of each other 99% of the time.
I could also see lawsuits happening as you could definitely make a case that it's negatively impacting the earning potential of players with a more defensive/physical mindset, and there's not really anything to back up their decision. |

It's the Ontario Hockey League. The Ontario government will decide, not some person on the Twitter. |

Eklund: OHL Pondering a Return Without Body Checking...Thoughts? - Eklund
Not sure how bodychecking is an issue if puck battles in corners / behind the net are on going during the game.
Seems rather silly.
TBH, seems better to have no season than some formed modified rules that likely do not decrease any risk given the way the game is played. |

More evidence of the Wussification of society.
Heaven forbid you hit anyone in a football game. Now they take aim on hockey.
At some point we have to stand up against these Woke wimps.
Have they even looked at the NFL?
I hear constantly at work (Im a teacher) that we need to stops sports and the pandemic will go away. There literally are no examples of teams transmitting COVID to their opponents during game play in any sport!
LET THEM PLAY and give all of us something to keep our mind off the virus and other far more serious matters! |

What a brilliant idea, tennis on ice 🙄. Talk about bureaucracy gone amok.
Maybe we should tell the stock exchange or Microsoft their employees can go to work, but they can't use computers. |

I was hoping to see some over reaction to this, and I was not disappointed.
The world is falling apart. Who the f**k cares what the OHL is doing. |

They are already doing this at the Youth level in Massachusetts. A horrible on ice product. |

This is embarrassing. How do you play hockey without checking and contact? |

Although technically a professional league...they make peanuts.
And they’re kids.
They shouldn’t have to risk their health for hockey...it’s not worth it.
The grown ups in the room need to make the right decision and cancel the season...but because of greed and capitalist inspired exploitation...they won’t. |
