Connor McDavid calls potential 5-week Olympic quarantine 'unsettling'
CBC
Connor McDavid calls the idea potentially having to quarantine up to five weeks in China because of a positive COVID-19 test at the Beijing Olympics "unsettling" as the NHL's participation at the Games remains up in the air.
One of three members already named to Canada's provisional Olympic team, the Edmonton Oilers captain says players need to continue gathering information before making a final decision.
Speaking today in Edmonton, McDavid adds he still wants to compete, but the situation is "fluid."
The NHL has committed to sending players to Beijing, but can pull out of the Games at any point. Jan. 10 is the deadline to nix the plan without financial penalty.
