As we inch towards the potential return of National Hockey League action, the league is dealing with a bunch of logistical issues. The one that’s popping up now? Work visas for players playing for a team based outside their home country.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that players are being told to arrive in their home team’s city by June 21 for some very interesting reasons.
As the NHL and NHLPA negotiate an agreement to resume play, work visas must be addressed. The league’s calendar “ends” on June 30, and visas expire at that time.
