BACK TO WORK

The NHL and its players' union have reached an agreement to return to the ice as coronavirus restrictions begin to ease. The league announced Monday it will reopen team facilities and begin training in June, at a date to be determined. Once open, six players will be allowed in a facility at a time. They will be wearing masks when not on the ice, according to the league. On-ice training will be for players only. The league stressed that players will not be forced to return to the team's home city and participation in these workouts is "strictly voluntary." All players and team personnel will be tested prior to utilizing the team facilities.
