NHL’s hopes for a return could face another hurdle at the border Globe_Sports
This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.The NHL is still more than a week away from determining a return-to-play format, a person familiar with discussions told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Though the NHL has left open the possibility of having training camps open as late as early August, it was unclear what effect further border restrictions will have on a league with seven of its 31 teams based in Canada. The decision provides temporary relief to the NHL’s bottom line, opening the possibility of players foregoing some or the entire remainder of their final checks. The players stand to lose all or a portion of what they are owed under the collective bargaining agreement.
The decision on when and how to resume the season is being left with a committee made up of representatives of the NHL and NHL Players’ Association.
