Tough year for NHL player Evander Kane.
Evander Kane has had a pretty wild year, as he’s been in the news for a variety of reasons. The NHL is now looking into the San Jose Sharks player allegedly submitting a fake COVID-19 vaccination card, according to Front Office Sports’ A.J. Perez.
“An investigation of San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane over allegations he violated the NHL’s COVID-19 protocols centers around a fake vaccination card he allegedly submitted, sources tell Front Office Sports.
Punishments for violating COVID protocols are not specifically spelled out, but the NHL makes it clear that a “lack of compliance will result in significant Club and individual sanctions, including potential forfeiture of games, fines and reimbursements of expenses, loss of draft choices, and/or ineligibility for participation in training activities.”
Beyond possible NHL sanctions, using a fake vaccination card is illegal both in the U.S. and Canada.”
