Edmonton, Toronto to be named hub cities for NHL restart: Report

It was only fitting that Wednesday was Canada Day, as a report indicated that the National Hockey League will choose two Canadian cities to host its return to play later this summer.

Edmonton and Toronto will be the NHL’s two hub cities, “barring any last-minute complications,” TSN reported.

Barring any last-minute complications, and we have seen some of those (Vancouver and Las Vegas), the two NHL Hub cities will be Edmonton and Toronto. ud83cudde8ud83cudde6

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said last month the Canadian government was “open” to hosting one or both NHL hub cities as long as local governments and health authorities approved the plans.
