Normally, if there are that many whistles in the last minute of a period, I think the teams are tired. But these are kids who probably are hopped up on orange slices and Capri Sun, and it's only the end of the first, so what gives?
If they're going to do this--and it is the best of the choices if for nothing but the cheerable chorus (probably the best I can think of other than Shout!, which is taken), this cover might be better:
I don't know about Ullmark, but I thought Jack was on the ice for the first practice. They wouldn't mess around with that if he had tested positive for COVID.
That, too, is inevitable. Whether it bothers me is going to depend on how intrusive they are and where on the uniform they are. I'd like for the helmets to be no-go zones for ads.
