The NHL’s pro-active plan to potentially resume its season now has more of a definitive timeline.
A source confirmed the league sent a memo to its franchises and players on Wednesday indicating that team facilities could re-open in mid- to late-May if there are continued positive indicators in the effort to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.
TSN’s Frank Seravalli first reported the news via his Twitter account.
The NHL paused its season on March 12 with a recommendation to the league’s players and personnel to go into a self-quarantine that was subsequently extended to Thursday.
