That injury is a worse case scenario. That is the reason why we need the World Cup to be in February and a Stanley Cup final being held just at end of January before the World Cup so that teams don't miss their star player playing for the Stanley Cup. Season should start in July and ending in early February on Olympic year with 72 game schedule and non-Olympic years, ending in late February with World Cup in early March with a 82-game schedule. Would love to see Stanley Cup playoffs during winter, not spring. I mean, I can imagine hockey during summertime with advanced ice technology all year around and we can choose spring to just wind down and enjoy the warm weather without having to watch the playoffs and allow for people to study for finals without any distractions. Players can have their off-season training during spring with training camp in June and season from July to December and playoffs from December/January. Covid years being played in summer taught me something, we can still watch hockey in summer even with hot weather outdoor without any issue.
