The NHL and NHLPA have agreed on July 10th as the day in which training camps can open and the league can begin Phase III: The Search for Hockey.
A concise memo was released last night, but don’t get that jersey out of storage just yet. The restart is contingent upon, “medical and safety conditions allow and the parties have reached an overall agreement on resuming play.”
Pierre Lebrun talked about this “overall agreement on resuming play” at The Athletic and there’s a lot on the table. We’re talking hub cities, safety issues, a CBA extension, escrow concerns, a salary cap, and other items that need to all be worked out before everyone agrees to hit the ice again.
