The NHL and NHLPA announced Thursday that formal training camps for the 24 teams resuming play will open on Friday, July 10. The league calls this its “Phase 3” of return-to-play plan. In May, Commissioner Gary Bettman announced the regular season was officially over but the playoffs will continue with 24 teams. Now, Phase 3 has a date for starting July 10 “provided that medical and safety conditions allow and the parties have reached an overall agreement on resuming play,” according to the league. The length of training camp and, therefore, the start date for formal resumption of play (Phase 4) will be determined at a future date, the NHL says.
