Avalanche hoping to spend a lot of time in Edmonton this summer

When it comes to the COIVD-19 pandemic, the way it has been handled in Canada versus the United States has been night and day. With new cases and deaths surging across a number of states, the NHL was faced with a tough decision. They had decided more than a month ago that Las Vegas was going to be the hub city for the Western Conference during the league’s Return to Play (RTP) plan for later this summer. Now, with the pandemic running wild through out the United States, the NHL was forced to change course. This week, the league and the players association announced that they have chosen to have both of their “hub” cities - rebranded as the more metal Phase-4 Safe Zones - in Canada.
