VANCOUVER - For forward Tanner Pearson, the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak sweeping through the Vancouver Canucks hit home as his teammates' loved ones began to fall ill.
That’s when it really, really started to suck, said Pearson, who has remained off the NHL s COVID-19 protocol list throughout the outbreak. I think guys were pretty confident in themselves to get over it, but when it starts hitting wives and kids and pregnant wives, that’s when it really becomes more than hockey. That’s when it scares you a bit.
Twenty-two Canucks players and four members of the coaching staff have tested positive for COVID-19 since March 30. One additional player has been deemed a close contact.
The team has said a variant of the virus is involved and genomic sequencing is being done to determine which specific variant.
