According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Vegas will be named a hub city for the NHL's 24-team playoff format by June 22.
Per Sportsnet, the other hub city depends on how the Canadian government will choose to uphold the 14-day quarantine for those entering the country.
10 cities were named as finalists for the two hubs in the NHL's Return To Play plan:
- Chicago, IL
- Columbus, OH
- Dallas, TX
- Edmonton, AB
- Las Vegas, NV
- Los Angeles, CA
- Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN
- Pittsburgh, PA
- Toronto, ON
- Vancouver, BC
According to the plan, there will be a hub city for each conference "with secure hotels, arena, practice facilities and in-market transportation."
In the hub cities teams will be limited to 50 personnel with only a small number of support staff allowed.
