The NHL is going to suspend the rest of its season.
It follows a similar decision made recently by the NBA.
Officials note since there is an NBA player that tested positive for coronavirus and given that the two leagues share so many facilities and locker rooms it seems that they could come in contact with the virus at some time.
They are continuing to monitor the situation and thank fans for your patience.
You can read the league’s full statement below.
