The Canucks reportedly held on-ice sessions with the Sedins in violation of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Vancouver Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet repeatedly stressed the importance of this off-season as the Canucks' regular season came to a close. He wanted to make sure that the players were training properly and coming to camp ahead of next season in peak physical condition.
The CBA, as negotiated between the NHL and the NHLPA, has strict rules surrounding training camps. Teams are not allowed to have mandatory training camps beyond the one at the beginning of the season and a summer "conditioning camp" that is aimed at prospects and typically called a development camp by the Canucks.
The Memorandum of Understanding that brought the players back on the ice after the stoppage due to the COVID-19 pandemic expanded Rule 15.11, replacing it with even stricter rules regarding what teams are allowed to do. Clubs are not permitted to pay for Players’ travel costs, per diems or housing for Players who choose to stay in or come to the Club’s home city during the off-season to utilize the Club’s arena/training/practice facility and/or to train with Club Coaching or Hockey Operations personnel.
Clubs are not permitted to facilitate or pay for Players to receive training/conditioning services during the off-season from: Club Strength and Conditioning Coaches who may own separate businesses and provide off-site/off-season services ; or third-party services providers that may provide training and conditioning services to Players inside or outside of the Club’s home city
