Players discuss new hockey regulations in the 2020-2021 season

Hockey players are quickly adjusting to the new rules of the season hoping to enjoy the game they play as September ends.

As COVID-19 has affected many sports throughout the year hockey in Calgary is making a comeback to bring players back together for a new season.

While the rules have brought out some conflicted perspectives some players have a clear view of what is to come in the season.

“I’m just looking to play hockey,” said Wyatt Flahr, a hockey player for the Calgary Northstars, under the 21 Blazers.

“Even with everything that is going on right now, still finding a way to play hockey is going to be great.”

Flahr, who has played for a great majority of his life is in his final year to play hockey, and has recently been through tryouts.

“I don’t see that much of a difference,” said Flahr, regarding the new regulations of the season.

“The only big setback is the scheduling rule because they want to limit COVID-19 spreading and that affects our schedule. I think we got nine less games than we did last year.”

While some of the downsides have affected him, Flahr views the season to bring out conflicted opinions as well.

“It’s a big learning curve for everyone. This is a “ball game” that no one has ever played before, and everyone’s going through this for the first time. Everyone has different circumstances.”

The conflicted opinions have begun to grow throughout the city, with some having a more personal perspective on the season.

“I’m not a big fan of the rules too much,” said Braiden Burke, a player for the CBHA Calgary Blackhawks team.

“It’s a shorter season, and there are fewer players than last year.”

Burke, a long-time hockey player, has been adjusting to the regulations, and views the season to be more restrictive than ever.

Burke said even though there are some downsides of the season, he is still excited to play the sport, and against some of his old teammates as well.

“It’s definitely something I’m still looking forward to. This sport brings out competitive sides, and that is the aspect of hockey.”

Burke has now joined his new team, and prepares for the games to begin.

“This September, we’ve been training. Just trying to get ready for it all.”
