In an effort to not only provide fans with unique content during this time, while promoting esports initiatives, the NHL announced that it will start its four-week NHL tournament on April 30.
All 31 clubs will have at least one representative at the games, while Seattle – the NHL’s newest franchise – will also have a representative of their own to take part in the festivities. The NHL Player Gaming Challenge will release weekly matchups, storylines, and broadcast details at the beginning of each week, once the tournament kicks off.
In addition to all the fun and excitement that it’s going to draw between the players and the fans, donations will be made by the National Hockey League Foundation and Electronic Arts – a combined $100,000 in support of the CDC Foundation’s COVID-19 relief efforts.
