Like most professional sports leagues hammering away at potential solutions and return-to-play scenarios in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, the NHL is reportedly scouting neutral-site locations for use to complete — or find a conclusion to — its paused season.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Sunday that Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, North Dakota — a location that has held many major tournaments including the 2005 World Junior Championship — could be an option for the league should it determine that using one or several neutral sites is the most appropriate way to continue the season.
