Reading through the protocols: NHL players are forbidden from carpooling or taking public transportation to and from the rink. If a player can't drive himself for whatever reason, the team must send a car for them, and the driver must be masked.
On the road, players "shall not patronize or enter internal venues other than the designated hotel, the practice facility or the game arena." So no going out for dinner, beers, or other extracurriculars.
Bonus: No roommates on the road. Single rooms for everybody. There goes that roomates-on-the-road story I was working on early last March. Sigh.
Not even allowed to use the hotel gym, pool or sauna.
Among the advice for members of a team's traveling party: "Not using fingers to press elevator buttons. Instead use knuckles or elbows."
Players who test positive during the regular season will be identified by name in official releases. Not during camp, though. There will just be a total number of positives released during camp.
