NEW YORK — The leading plan for hockey coming back this summer involves playing at a few empty NHL arenas to finish the season and award the Stanley Cup.
Unknowns about the coronavirus have kept the league working on multiple scenarios.
A person familiar with discussions tells The Associated Press the most aggressive timetable would have players returning to their home rinks as early as May 15, followed by a training camp in June.
The regular season, featuring some if not all 31 teams would then begin in July, with the Stanley Cup awarded in September.
