Alberta officially asks Trudeau to lift quarantine restrictions for NHL players

Alberta premier Jason Kenney has officially appealed to Canadian prime minister to set aside COVID-19 travel restrictions for NHLers.

Kenney penned the letter to Trudeau in an effort to bolster Edmonton’s chances of becoming an NHL “hub city” upon the league’s resumption.

“Alberta began its phased relaunch of our economy on May 14, and there have been no measurable increases in the case numbers for coronavirus in the province. New COVID-19 cases in Edmonton are averaging one per day, with recovered cases far outweighing any new infections,” he wrote.
