Stanley Cup |
The 2020–21 NHL season will be the 104th season of operation (103rd season of play) of the National Hockey League.
Because the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs to August, the start of the 2020–21 regular season will be delayed until at least January 1, 2021, or later instead of the normal October-to-April period.[1]
League business
Collective bargaining agreement
The collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which had been in effect since the end of the 2012–13 NHL lockout, was set to enter its penultimate season in 2020–21.[2]
On July 10, 2020, the league reached an agreement to renew the CBA through the 2025–26 NHL season, including an increase of the minimum player salary to $750,000 from $700,000, increasing the maximum value of entry-level contracts, deferring 10% of player salaries for the 2020–21 season to cover costs associated with the pandemic (they will be paid back over three seasons beginning 2022–23), escrow of player salaries capped at 20% for this season and decreasing incrementally to 14-18%, 10%, and 6% over the three seasons that follow (with the 6% applying thereafter), doubling of the playoff bonus pool to $32 million, and an agreement for the NHL to negotiate a return to the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics (after being absent from the 2018 Winter Olympics).[3][4]
The CBA will be automatically renewed through 2026–27 if player escrow debt falls between $125 million and $250 million after the 2024–25 season.[4]
Salary cap
As part of the new CBA, the salary cap will remain at $81.5 million for the 2020–21 season. Future increases will occur incrementally until the league recovers from the financial impact of the pandemic.[3][4]
Player and puck tracking technology
This is planned to be the first regular season that the league's player and puck tracking system will be utilized at 31 NHL arenas. The system will allow on-air features such as speed displays, puck tracking graphics, and marker graphics hovering above players (though not to the extremes on-air of the mid-90s FoxTrax experiment). The league had planned to deploy this technology to all 31 arenas by September 2019, but a change to its primary technology partner delayed implementation.[5]
Media rights
NBC Sports' current ten-year contract for U.S. national broadcast rights will expire after the 2020–21 season (marking its 15th season overall as an NHL broadcaster); the NHL has explored the possibility of splitting its national media rights between interested broadcasters,[6] and possibly signing with an over-the-top service (such as DAZN or ESPN+).[7] In any case, the league is looking to generate more revenue than the nearly US$2 billion total that NBC paid over the life of their 2011–12 to 2020–21 contract.[8] Sports Business Journal reported on June 15 that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHL would be deferring all negotiations regarding future media rights to no earlier than late 2020 or early 2021.[9]
In Canada, this will be the seventh season of the league's twelve-year rights deal with Rogers Sports & Media.[10] Sportsnet West's regional rights to both the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers expired at the end of the previous 2019–20 season.[11]
On October 5, 2020, the Winnipeg Jets renewed its regional television rights with TSN3 under a multi-year deal,[12] and announced that Corus Entertainment would assume the team's radio rights under a seven-year deal, with CJOB and CJKR-FM serving as co-flagships and both replacing CFRW. It marks the first time Winnipeg's NHL team will air on CJOB, since the original Winnipeg Jets.[13]
Draft
The 2020 NHL Entry Draft was originally scheduled for June 26–27, 2020, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec,[14] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[15] It took place on October 6 and 7 in a remote format, hosted from the NHL Network studios in Secaucus, New Jersey.[16][17] The New York Rangers were awarded the first pick in the 2020 Draft after winning the second phase of the draft lottery on August 10 and selected Alexis Lafreniere.[18]
Postponed international games in Europe
Two preseason games were planned to be played in Europe: the Boston Bruins against Adler Mannheim at SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany, and the Nashville Predators against SC Bern at PostFinance Arena in Bern, Switzerland. In addition, three regular season games, were also planned: the Boston Bruins and Nashville Predators at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic; and two games between the Colorado Avalanche and Columbus Blue Jackets at Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland, later in the fall.[19]
On May 8, 2020, the league postponed these five international games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to reschedule them for the 2021–22 season.[20]
Coaching changes
Off–season | |||
---|---|---|---|
Team | 2019–20 coach | 2020–21 coach | Story / Accomplishments |
Calgary Flames | Bill Peters Geoff Ward* |
Geoff Ward | Peters resigned on November 29, 2019, after accusations of racism were made by former Rockford IceHogs player Akim Aliu when Peters was coaching the AHL club a decade earlier. Peters spent 1⅓ seasons with the Flames, registering a record of 12–12–4 to start the season after reaching the first round of the playoffs as the top seed in the Western Conference the previous season. Ward, who served as an assistant coach, was named interim head coach.[21][22] On September 14, Ward was named head coach.[23] |
Dallas Stars | Jim Montgomery Rick Bowness* |
Rick Bowness | Montgomery was dismissed on December 10, 2019 due to "unprofessional conduct inconsistent with the core values and beliefs" of the Stars and the league.

Bowness, who served as an assistant coach, was named interim head coach.[24][25] On October 29, Bowness was named permanent head coach.[26] |

Lindy Ruff | Hynes was fired on December 3, 2019, after 4⅓ seasons with the team, which had registered a 9–13–4 record to start the season.

Bob Boughner | DeBoer was fired on December 11, 2019, after 4⅓ seasons with the team, which had registered a record of 15–16–2 to start the season. The Sharks qualified for the playoffs in all of the four previous seasons under DeBoer, and advanced to the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals. Boughner, who served as an assistant coach, was named interim head coach.[31] On September 22, Boughner was named head coach.[32] |
Washington Capitals | Todd Reirden | Peter Laviolette | Reirden was fired on August 24, 2020, after the team failed to get past the first round for the second consecutive year. The team won the division title each year under Reirden, accumulating an 89–46–16 record over two seasons.[33] On September 15, the Capitals named Laviolette as head coach, who had been fired by Nashville the previous season.[34][35] |

Arena changes
- The Colorado Avalanche's home arena was renamed from the Pepsi Center to Ball Arena on October 22, 2020.
- The New York Islanders were scheduled to play all of their home games for the 2020–21 season at Nassau Coliseum. The team had split their home games between Nassau and Barclays Center during the past two seasons. The Islanders plan to move to UBS Arena for the 2021–22 season.[41] In June 2020, Mikhail Prokhorov, whose company runs the Nassau Coliseum, announced that the Coliseum would be closed indefinitely while it seeks new investors to take it over and assume the remaining debt.[42]
Regular season
The regular season was originally planned to begin in October 2020 and end in April 2021, but the plan had to be changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[43] The league's goal is to hold a full 82-game regular season in 2020–21.[44] However, the season will be limited by local health orders limiting attendance at each arena.[45] The league also relies on attendance for at least 50 percent of its revenue, and the players are against spending the full season isolated in neutral-site bubbles similar to their situation during the 2020 playoffs.[46]
The schedule will also be limited by the COVID-19 travel restrictions at the Canada–U.S. border. With seven Canadian teams, the travel restrictions will affect the NHL the most out of all the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. To limit travel between the two countries, the Golden Knights' owner Bill Foley suggested that the NHL could temporarily realign the seven Canadian teams into a single division.[47]
In July 2020, the league and the NHL Players' Association (NHLPA) initially agreed to tentatively schedule the opening of training camp on November 17, 2020 and the start of the regular season on December 1.[17] In October 2020, both the NHL and NHLPA began discussions on the specific details on how to proceed with the season.[46] On October 6, the NHL and the NHLPA agreed to delay the targeted start date of the regular season to January 1, 2021, and to decide at a later date when to open training camp.[48]
Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly stated in mid-November 2020 that the league was still targeting a January 1 start, but that "we have to build in flexibility for the hiccups that we expect will come along and have to expect will come along with potential COVID positives and contact tracing requirements", citing "difficulties" faced by Major League Baseball and the NFL over their handling of the pandemic.[49]
The league had scheduled this season's All-Star Game and two NHL outdoor games before the pandemic.[50] On October 22, 2020, it was announced that due to "ongoing uncertainty" since both events rely on fan participation, the 2021 Winter Classic (which was originally scheduled on January 1 to feature the Minnesota Wild hosting the St. Louis Blues at Target Field) and the 2021 All-Star Game had been postponed (originally to be hosted at the BB&T Center on January 30), and may not return until 2022 at the earliest (although the All-Star Game may possibly be deferred further due to the 2022 Winter Olympics). A decision on the 2021 Stadium Series game being hosted by the Carolina Hurricanes at Carter–Finley Stadium on February 20 has yet to be made.[51][52]

Your recent editing history at MLS Cup 2020 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
