Rumor: Toronto and Vancouver to be named host cities for NHL comeback

According to sources connected to the NHL office, two cities expected to be named host cities for the NHL's comeback are Toronto and Vancouver.

With the facilities available in both cities, their locations, accommodations available and the health protocols/approvals for each city/region, both Vancouver and Toronto have met all of the criteria from the NHL.

The Return to Play Committee met with the NHL on Wednesday and it's believed the call covered the start of training camp happening in late May. The Hub cities approach hasn't been warmly received by all, as some players have voiced their displeasure about being away from their home, locked up in a hotel room for 3 months. Part of the call today also covered options for giving players 'breaks' to visit their families. The Canada/US border control was also a hot topic.

Look for these two cities to be named, and the formal announcement to be made by early next week.
