Friday night we found out we are getting closer to the start of the NHL 2021 season. TSN’s Frank Seravalli, formerly of the Philadelphia Daily News, first reported on Twitter. The agreement is another step towards the state of the season, however, there are still issues that need approval.
The tentative agreement between the NHL and the Players Association is that the 56 game season will start on January 13th and end on May 8th. Teams will start training camp on January 3rd. However, the seven teams that did not make the expanded playoffs can open their training camps on December 30th.
