Canada has approved a National Hockey League plan to play in Canada during the Covid-19 pandemic. The plan required an exemption as the U.S.-Canada border is currently closed to all non-essential travel until at least July 21st and those who enter Canada must self-isolate for 14 days. The league plans to have training camps open in July and to play games without spectators in a couple of cities in late July or August.
