NHL Players' Association Files Grievance Over COVID-19 Protocols The National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) has taken a significant step in its ongoing negotiations with the NHL over COVID-19 protocols, filing a grievance that could potentially alter the way the league handles player health and safety. The move comes as the NHL continues to navigate the challenges of the ongoing pandemic, with teams and players facing a delicate balance between competing on the ice and protecting themselves from the virus. The grievance, which has not been made public, is reportedly related to the NHL's management of player testing and quarantine procedures. As the NHLPA pushes for greater control over player health, the outcome of this grievance could have far-reaching implications for the league and its players.
