What a time in the hockey world, eh? Player media tour is ongoing in Chicago; tryouts are being handed out like Candy; rookie camps are beginning; and political quotes are being thrown around.

Last week, we witnessed the sudden firing of Sylvain Lefebvre and the promotion of Steven McCarty, with the backlash and controversy still spilling out about that.

Over the weekend, we have been hit with the quotes of new addition Zach Rinaldo. At a recent Canadian press event, Rinaldo was quoted as saying

“I am not anti-vax. I am not anti-mask. I am pro choice.”

Rinaldo is speaking out as the Canadian election nears, and it is a more pivotal one in 2021.

During the weekend action of the rookie camp in Traverse City, the Union Blue went two for two in the winning column.

Unfortunately, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jared McIssac was stretchered off the after a collision with Blue Jackets center James Malatesta. If you read my previous and first rookie blog, Malatesta was ranked tenets in the prospects series in progress. This seems to be an out of character incident for the two youngsters involved.

Thoughts on the weekend and action coming back soon? More to come...
