NHL’s Phase 3 for relaunch won’t begin until July

The NHL’s plan to restart the season is going public, but the information is coming long before the players will actually hit the ice.

Players informed today Phase III (training camps) won’t start before July 10.

The NHL won’t begin their “camp” until July 10. Based on the full details of Phase 2, we can assume the actual playoffs won’t begin until August 1. We’d be looking at the qualifying, first, and second rounds taking all of August, and then the Conference and Stanley Cup Finals taking all of September.
