NHL Suspends season

Mar 12, 2020 | 11:47 AM

The NHL has suspended its season immediately due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The league made the announcement Thursday afternoon.

The NHL advised all its clubs earlier in the day not to conduct morning skates, practices or team meetings amid efforts to contain the spread of novel coronavirus.

The move to suspend the NHL schedule came after the NBA announced the same measure last night following the revelation a Utah Jazz player tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets and San Jose Sharks said Wednesday they would play upcoming home dates behind closed doors and without fans after state and local officials instituted bans on large gatherings of people.
