The National Hockey League has stepped away from its plan to use non-NHL rinks in neutral sites to resume its season, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.
The NHL was reportedly considering holding the rest of its season in locations such as New Hampshire or North Dakota during the summer but had not discussed any final details with the NHLPA. The plan never got out of "concept stages" due to challenges in staging and televising games and lack of accommodations, per Wyshynski.
Despite games being suspended since mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic, the NHL still intends to complete the regular season.
