Following a snag in Vancouver’s bid to be a hub city for the NHL’s return-to-play plan, the league has begun focusing on other options, Sportsnet can confirm.
Global BC’s Richard Zussman reported Thursday that the NHL has “moved on” from Vancouver as an option “for now” but may circle back to it if the other Canadian options — Edmonton and Toronto — aren’t viable. The big hold up as reported by Sportsnet yesterday is the issue of what happens if a player or staff member gets sick while in the hub quarantine. We are hoping to get more clarity on this today from Dr. Henry.
