Archibald seems to have joined conspiratorial movements since the outbreak began. On May 6, 2020, more than two and a half years after his last micros, he took to the floor on Twitter to question the existence of the pandemic and to share a YouTube video that has since been removed.

Last year, Archibald reached the goal seven times and provided six assists for 13 points in 52 games with the Alberta team. This is his second season in the National League in the Oilers uniform worn by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Arizona Coyotes.
