If an event such as this were we have the public 80 percent vaccinated and every single player and staff on every single team fully vaccinated doesn't open up the publics eyes that this illness has become nothing more then political positioning and control then we will never know what normal is again......
2022 World Junior Championship has been cancelled (MOD: Stay on topic)

Putting their health at risk? This is the problem; they are vaccinated, Young and healthy. They aren’t at risk, they aren’t even sick.
We need to get past this “Covid is going to kill us all mentality”. If you are vaccinated you are safe. Everyone that wants a vaccine has one. I’m past caring about the health of a lunatic fringe that won’t get a vaccine. For the rest of us it’s time to use some common sense and get back to living

Yup. The tourney isn't even long. Bubbling them for 2 weeks should be relatively easy. Organizers got greedy, wanted all that gate revenue and didn't want the expenditures that come with bubbling the players and it backfired in their face.

I mean you made a claim about all the anti-vaxxers in this thread and have backed none of it up. What did you expect?
Currently as I type this, in a tiny town in Ontario, there is a hockey tournament going on successfully that is approximately double the size of the world juniors. They have over 500 players + coaches + fans, and all that.
There is no bubble, there is no extreme testing and the tournament is being run 10 times better than this gongshow in Alberta.
I'm not making this up. You can look up hockey tournament, Petrolia Ontario and see that this is the case.

I wish you all the bad things in life.
I think the word approval is what I am stuck on. Approval is active. IIHF is subject to local rules. In this case local rules are not more strict then IIHF, so they are somewhat irrelevant.
There are two things here. The close contact quarantine rules that actually caused the tournament to be cancelled. People may disagree with them but they are in line with most countries and international organisations.
The lack of a bubble is the second thing. IIHF should have enforced one. To my knowledge no government enforces them as it is not their place. It was incredibly stupid not to have one.

So many people have it completely wrong.
It's not about control.
It's about extreme aversion to risk and liability.
They would rather piss off a couple million hockey fans and a couple hundred players than have one hockey parent come out with a story about his or her prospect kid developing myocarditis from an infection at the World Juniors.

I like how they say that they're cancelling it to ensure the health and safety of the participants. Somehow it didn't bother them when the general public were mixing with the players at the hotel at which some members of the public were not wearing masks. Laughable. The new president hasn't gotten off to a good start.
It's the long game coming to fruition that Republicans started decades ago. Slowly undermine and underfund education, give them "news" channels constantly railing against the universities, scientists, media etc.. and this is what you get.

Yeah this is totally unbelievable. It’s insanity like this that makes people lose faith in government forever.
Watching Premier League with 70k in the stands right now.
hahahaha did your parents like congratulate you for telling on your siblings or something. This is ultra hilarious.
Your statement shows you're not living in the real world as the hockey players are at 0 risk. They have more risk driving on a highway. Should we shutdown all the highways because a crash happens.
Absolutely mindboggling your opinion goes around without being called out. It's because people are nice and don't want you to feel like a loser. Well buddy, might wanna think a bit more.

There will be a new booster next month. Why would I get the outdated version now?
I'm not sure why I'm being attacked for simply mentioning that there are anti-vaxxers here. They are literally here, and it's not like I'm offending anyone by saying that. I'm sure they own up to their opinions lol
Not sure why people feel the need to make assumptions about my other opinions on the matter and drag me into their arguments that I don't care about, while insulting my intelligence based on opinions they THINK I have. It's ridiculous. I hope you guys aren't like this in real life

When the Canucks players got COVID the first time they were absolutely decimated because they didn't have the vaccine. Now that players had the vaccine the symptoms are much more mild.
But somehow the vaccine is ineffective?

Yeah and on the way back home you can stop by at one of their re-education centres so when you come back, you too can be doing things the right way.

Better this than half of the games forfeited. It didn't work out this year.

That one player would have been 5 in a week and 25 in two weeks. Especially if they didn't change hotels that already has an epidemic going on.
And I'm ready to play people who are tested negative, but AFAIK the health rules don't allow that ... if you're exposed then you're out.
They should have a) had a proper bubble b) taxi squad with extra 5-7 players
Did I say something bad about anti-vaxxers? No, I just asked why there are more here than other places
Yeah sure for the North Americans, Russians, Swedes and Finns.
For all the other kids this was their one and only chance to be on a stage like this. Its an unfortunate reality.
