Yep, it's really happening.

After weeks of negotiations as to how to begin the 2020-21 NHL season, an agreement was reached and there will be hockey.

The campaign is set to begin Jan. 13, with the league embarking on a 56-game season, where teams will only play the other squads in their divisions, which have been realigned with geography in mind.

There's a lot to unpack and dive into, which is where we come in. Every day leading up to puck drop, we'll have plenty of content -- both Boston Bruins specific and league-wide -- from NESN.com's Mike Cole, Lauren Campbell and Logan Mullen to get you read for the season.

So bookmark this tab, and we'll see you here regularly.
