HALIFAX Throughout the Maritimes, COVID-19 has put limits on how (or even if) events proceed. While the easing of some restrictions is helping restore some sense of normalcy, not everyone is satisfied or even sure of a beneficial outcome. In Nova Scotia, it s been over two months since hockey players have been able to play competitively amid COVID-19 restrictions. However, on Monday, players will be able to hit the ice once again as the province has announced the easing of some restrictions. Unfortunately for some, namely parents and spectators, watching the beloved game won t be an option – a shutout upsetting many people.
