The NHL is aiming to open team practice facilities for small group workouts in the “mid-to-later portion of May,” per a league memo sent Wednesday.
This jives with an April 23 report from the New York Post that at least one NHL team had told its players to be prepared for informal workouts on or around May 15. Frank Seravalli of TSN.ca notes that any return to play -- whether at practice or for actual games -- would need to be approved by the NHL Players' Association. The joint NHL-NHLPA Return to Play committee has been meeting virtually in recent days to discuss such matters. A big issue is travel, as the U.S.-Canada border remains closed to non-essential business. Players from Europe could potentially be stranded until June.
