For NHL teams, it’s no longer ‘upper body’ or ‘lower body’ injuries. The new catch-all term is ‘unfit to participate.’
"Unfit to participate" has become the new catch-all term since training camps opened July 13 ahead of the Aug. 1 resumption of the season. The NHL has prohibited teams from disclosing whether a player is injured, ill, potentially exposed to the coronavirus or simply waiting for a test result.
