NHL
With the National Hockey League still hoping to complete its 2019-2020 season this summer, the league is discussing a delayed start for the 2020-2021 campaign. Commissioner Gary Bettman says the break that would be needed between the delayed end of this season and the beginning of the next could push opening day back as far as December. Bettman said the league is hoping to reopen some practice facilities by mid-May, if local COVID-19 guidelines permit.
