NEW YORK/TORONTO (July 6, 2020) – The National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and National Hockey League (NHL) today announced the frameworks that will govern Players and Clubs in Phase 3 (formal training camps) and Phase 4 (resumption of competition). The Protocols will come into effect only upon ratification of the CBA by the NHLPA and NHL.
The NHL Phased Return to Sport Protocol is attached in its entirety for both Phase 3 and Phase 4. (Click image to review entire protocol for each Phase)
Props to the players, league, for soldiering through what had to be a mountain of negotiations. The fact that we also have a new CBA, and hockey for the next seven years, is the icing on the cake.
