Because of social distancing mandates, getting the masks in the hands of her clients can be challenging.

We don’t often mention the 90’s in matters of good or influential design, particularly when it comes to sports (*shudder*) but CuJo’s oil sploosh mask is still relevant almost two decades later. Jaroslav Halak commissioned an almost-replica of Joseph’s mask last season in Long Island with some tweaks made to update the design for the new millennium, and Ilya Bryzgalov used a similar orange splash design in his 2013-14 Oilers mask as well.
The Boston Bruins confirmed they're exploring home games at Fenway Park, which has hosted NHL and NCAA games in the past.

All that said, the Lightning have to figure out a way to keep at least Cirelli, a future Selke Trophy winner as the League's best defensive forward and potential future captain (although Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos is certainly not going anywhere). Cirelli is the perfect third-line center in the NHL today, especially playing behind Stamkos and Brayden Point. He has breakaway speed, a high hockey IQ, strength in the middle of the ice, and the versatility to move up the lineup if necessary (if, for example, Tampa Bay wants to play Stamkos at right wing). You win in the NHL today with strength down the middle, and the Lightning have that. If they can't keep Cirelli, they could have a difficult time replacing him without having to rob from another area.

"We lost a luminary in the hockey world with the passing of Fred Sasakamoose,'' the Blackhawks said in a statement. "Fred inspired many across the sport and throughout North America after becoming one of the first Indigenous-born athletes to play in the National Hockey League.''
The Commissioner said the NHL Players' Association would sign off on a training camp of appropriate length, which might be slightly shorter than past seasons. Teams probably would want to play a preseason game or two, he said.
"I have fabric, I have a machine. Obviously, we have a lot of time on our hands," she said. "So I put all of these things to good use. I looked up a tutorial and figured out a way to make these things and I started making them as fast as I could. Word kind of spread and I've got nurses, doctors and a lot of essential workers randomly contacting me. It's good, I have been able to donate those and get those out to those first-line workers. People from our (Blackhawks) staff and friends and family have actually been good about donating to the Blackhawks' COVID-19 Response Fund for the masks that I have made them."
"I use social media: Instagram and Facebook," she said. "My friends and family have been really good about passing it along. That has gotten me to be able to chat with a lot of people I haven't gotten to chat with in a lot of years. So I am kind of reconnecting with people and getting these masks out to people who need to go to the grocery store or need to go to the gas station. Especially those who may be living alone or may have some underlying health issue...it has been good to help them."
"I have adult masks and child masks. It's kind of good with the ties," she said. "You can tie it as tight as you want it. The child mask is smaller. They are all the same pattern, but the fabric is completely random. I just used extra fabric that I had from other quilts that I have made. So the masks don't necessarily match. They are reversible. Whatever I had was what I sent out. I was worried at first that people weren't going to like them. But it didn't matter if they like (the appearance) or not, they need them. But people have kind of enjoyed the surprise of what the fabric is. So if I know someone in our department likes Ohio State and I know that I made them a blanket back in the day, I searched for that fabric and I was able to make one from that fabric."
