Opening arenas for Phase 2 is a small but important step on the NHL's road to returning to games. (sportsnetspec)

Don’t kid yourself: There are NHL stars who have skated for weeks by themselves at private arenas. But the vast majority have not, and in an age where most NHL players do not fall out of shape over the summer, a June re-start is as strange as adding a third blue-line.

It will sneak back slowly, with small group skating across the hockey world. And in a month or so they’ll join each other, and for another two to three weeks they’ll practice, while a hockey country longs for real games. It’s worth remembering that the entertainers themselves have a little more invested in this process than do the fans, who will be denied the right to buy that $13 beer and $12 hotdog. For instance, Benning is heading into what could possibly be a two-month quarantine, but his wife Janelle has a baby on the way.
