The NHL season has been suspended until further notice
Following in the footsteps of both the NBA and the National Lacrosse League, the NHL announced today that all games have been suspended until further notice. The decision comes in the wake of COVID-19, and after previously deciding that practices, meetings and morning skates would also be suspended.
The rapidly-escalating situation has seen major athletes, celebrities and heads of state become directly affected. Since the NHL shares stadiums and arenas with the NBA, it’s been decided to play it safe.
