As the NHL and NHLPA finalize the extension of their collective bargaining agreement and formalize the return to play plan, the one question fans really want answered is this: when do I get to watch hockey again?
Of course, if you’re looking for Sharks hockey, we’re still months away. The Stanley Cup Final is tentatively scheduled to be held, at the latest, into the first week of October. Fitting in appropriate recuperation time, the 2020 draft and free agency, not to mention training camps, and the soonest the Sharks will be playing meaningful games is probably some time in early December.
