When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Tuesday morning that the ban on all non-essential travel between Canada and the United States would be extended for another 30 days due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you would have thought that it signalled the end of any hope that our country would play host to games if the National Hockey League resumed its suspended season.
We thought wrong, I guess. The non-essential travel ban across the longest unmilitarized border in the world will remain in effect until June 21 and the prime minister is on the record as saying that anyone who enters Canada from abroad would need to be in quarantine for 14 days.
