According to a press release from Czech Hockey, hockey players are prepared to not only comply with all the measures that would result from the exception, but also to supplement them if necessary. “Tipsport extra league clubs would ensure the isolation of players and implementation team members, including regular testing before each competition, ie at least twice a week.
