An NHL assistant coach has had his newly-signed contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets terminated over his decision not to get a Covid-19 vaccine, according to a representative for the team.
Sylvain Lefebvre "will not be able to perform the duties required of him given current NHL protocols," the Columbus Blue Jackets said in a statement.
Sylvain Lefebvre, who signed a three-year contract with the team in June, will be replaced by Cleveland Monsters associate coach and former NHL defenseman Steve McCarthy, the team said in a statement Monday. "Protocols were sent to clubs the beginning of September," Blue Jackets vice president of communications Todd Sharrock told NBC News."The protocols state in part that “any person whose job, role, position or access entails or entitles them to have personal interactions with Club Hockey Operations personnel must be fully vaccinated."
