NHL Postponing League Meetings Set For Later This Month In DC

NHL league meetings that were supposed to take place the week of March 23 in DC have currently been postponed for a yet-to-be-determined date due to coronavirus concerns, according to sources. The meetings would have included team staffers across ticketing, marketing, digital, sponsorships and community relations, among other areas. Club presidents would have attended, too. A source with knowledge of the situation described it as one where attendees might not be able to devote their full attention to the meetings given how they have to respond to the coronavirus in their home markets amid the situation’s fluid nature. An NHL statement to THE DAILY said, "As we continue to closely monitor the evolving situation with the coronavirus, and review updated materials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Health Canada on a daily basis, the League has postponed the 2020 NHL Club Business Meetings (originally scheduled for March 25-27 in Washington, DC)."
