The other depends on how the Canadian government chooses to enforce the 14-day quarantine for those entering the country. We await an announcement there.Ideally, the NHL would like to have a Canadian city serve as a hub alongside Vegas, but that won’t be finalized until the federal government makes a ruling. Toronto is the preferred destination, assuming the quarantine issue can be managed.
