Josh Archibald’s decision to be against the COVID-19 vaccine may have impacted his long term health.

The Edmonton Oilers announced that the veteran forward will be sidelined indefinitely after blood tests determined he had a serious heart condition known as myocarditis. It was also revealed he contracted COVID-19 during the summer. Many health experts have warned about how the virus’ side effects could lead to the heart condition.

“He had a severe viral infection coming out of his quarantine…What the tests showed is that at some point this summer he’d had COVID, and he tested positive for the antibodies.” said Oilers head coach David Tippett.

“He has also been diagnosed with myocarditis.”
