Gary Bettman: cancelling NHL season is 'not something I'm even contemplating'

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman provided some encouraging news to hockey fans desperate to see the completion of the season on Tuesday.

According to the Mercury News, when Bettman appeared as a guest for the San Jose Sharks' virtual town hall for members of its business alliance Tuesday afternoon, the commissioner said ending the season without awarding the Stanley Cup is “not something I’m even contemplating.”

He added during the virtual town hall:

“I believe that if the right time comes, and the right circumstances, based on all of the options that we’re considering and our ability to execute them, we’ll get this season done.
