The National Hockey League has announced the postponement of the draft, scouting combine and awards show due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
The draft, which was set to take place June 26-27 in Montreal, is having its location, timing and format worked on and the league expects to announce more details when they’re available.
The scouting combine, meanwhile, was set to take place in Buffalo between June 1-6. The NHL awards show, meanwhile, was set for June 18th in Las Vegas, and the league said they look “forward to returning to Las Vegas in the future. Las Vegas has been the home of the Bridgestone NHL Awards since 2009.”
