Eight Huskies In NHL Return-To-Play Training Camps

As the National Hockey League continues to ramp up activity with the goal being to resume play with the Stanley Cup Playoffs, eight Northeastern hockey alums have been named to the training camp rosters for their respective teams.

Training camp rosters are limited to 30 skaters and unlimited goalies, and are a part of Phase 3 of the NHL’s return-to-play strategy. Teams will travel to their designated hub cities on July 26th, with play planned to resume on August 1.
