The National Hockey League and its player association are aiming for training camps in mid-July.
It would also mark the launch of phase three of the league’s return to play plan.
According to TSN’s Pierre LeBrun, the stat time is still subject to change.
Phase two launched Monday with 16 of 24 teams participating in the play-in round opened their practice facilities this week.
TSN’s Farhan Lalji reported Monday that the Canucks had sent their list of players they wish to have as black aces to the NHL. Among those were goalie Michael DiPietro, defenceman Olli Juolevi and forward Sven Baertschi.
