Wow, 26 out of 250? So team sports appear to more dangerous than we thought. Or the kind of people who are playing in the NHL are not very risk averse.

Never forget- in October 2018 Carey Price was the only person in Quebec with the flu.
He’s also had the flu in Oct. 2016 and had it again this past February, so obviously hockey players have terrible immune systems and will never get vaccinations

Price said last week he wouldn’t take the risk, but the latest news I find says he’s on his way here to join the team after all.

Possibly similar to the reason it’s common in meat packing plants – cold environment + close quarters?

MarcG: Same thing, more or less, is happening in baseball, basketball and certain college football quarters in the US, too.

Cold environment, close quarters and lots of yelling.

And sweaty locker rooms. They had trouble dealing with the mumps a couple of years ago
