The Vancouver Canucks’ loan of prized forward prospect Nils Hoglander to the Rogle club of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) expired on December 12th, 2020. Instead of scoring an expected swan-song lacrosse-style goal in his final game in Scandinavia, the flashy Swede instead decided to exit in a flash of fury. This was his last shift before his much anticipated boarding of a plane to fly to Canada to quarantine prior to the expected opening of Vancouver’s NHL training camp. January 3rd, 2021 for 2020 bubble teams like the Canucks is the current target date for day one of camp.
