The NHL said in a memo Monday that it's aiming to begin Phase 2 of return to play from its coronavirus shutdown in early June, which will allow practice rinks to open and players to have small, voluntary group workouts.

The on-ice sessions would be noncontact and involve up to six players, who'd be expected to main physical distancing at all time. Phase 1, which is ongoing, advised players to self-quarantine. The final two phases, which would be the opening of training camps and a return to play, weren't mentioned in the memo.
