NHL to choose Edmonton and Toronto as hub cities, TSN reports

The National Hockey League is set to choose Edmonton and Toronto as hub cities, according to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie.

As the league resumes its season, the two cities would host the playoffs – one for the Eastern Conference and the other for the West. Later rounds would likely be played in one location.

Barring any last-minute complications, and we have seen some of those (Vancouver and Las Vegas), the two NHL Hub cities will be Edmonton and Toronto.

McKenzie reports the two cities will be selected so long as there aren’t any last-minute complications.

He notes that nothing is official until the league and players’ association ratify an agreement to return to play.
