NHL Rumors: Here’s Latest Details About 2020-21 Season From NHLPA’s Call
Hopefully this means we're one day closer to a season
It appears more details are getting hammered out for the return of the NHL.
The league wrapped up in September after a four-month pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the Tampa Bay Lightning were crowned Stanley Cup champions, it’s been unknown when next season would begin.
Jan. 1 long had been the target date, but that dwindled away as the calendar turned to December.
Commissioner Gary Bettman revealed a Dec. 3 Opening Night still was a “work in progress,” noting they were focused on the health and safety of their players and staff.
TSN’s Darren Dreger on Monday reported the target date now is Jan. 13, with ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski reporting that date had been confirmed by an NHL team executive.
And while TSN’s Frank Seravalli didn’t report on the Jan. 13 rumor, he did provide some details from Tuesday’s call with the NHL Players’ Association’s executive board.
Check out all the details:
Now we continue to wait to see if this is approved.
