The remaining games in the NHL season could be played in B.C. That’s according to Premier John Horgan, who spoke to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman over the phone on Tuesday about the province hosting games to help finish the 2019-20 year. “We’ve heard from others around the league that have other ideas about perhaps having all of the games played in B.C.,” Horgan said. “We have WHL rinks in Victoria, in Kamloops, in Kelowna, in Prince George.
The Kootenays — Cranbrook — has an outstanding facility as well. We have hotel space. The sky’s really the limit.” Vancouver has been floated as an ideal “hub city” where hockey teams could be housed and play games to limit travel and help finish the season.
