It’s been over two full months since the Avalanche last played a hockey game and while the NFL season is in full swing, that just doesn’t always do it for us hockey nerds. Recently, the NBA and NBPA tentatively approved a start date for the 2020-2021 season; a shortened 72-game schedule set to begin on December 22nd.
With that in mind, us in the hockey community are left wondering when the NHL could realistically announce the start to their season. While nothing has officially been announced, a tentative plan for January 1st is still down.
