Showing that kind of resiliency is something all the teams competing in Beijing have had to deal with in the two years of the pandemic. The Canadian team cancelled its exhibition games and instead brought the whole team to Calgary so they could train together in a bubble environment in the weeks leading up to Beijing. It’s been nerve racking because suddenly you need a certain number of PCR tests before being allowed to go to Beijing. I had mild to moderate symptoms, but they lasted a while.
The journey to Beijing has been a rocky one to say the least for Team Canada captain Tyler McGregor who found out he tested positive for COVID-19 on Christmas Day.
