NHL board of governors to decide on start of next season

The board of governors of the NHL, North America’s national ice hockey league, is to decide over the next two days on the start of next year’s regular season, including whether or not the organisation will stage an exhibition game in the Czech capital. This year the NHL saw two such games in London between the Anaheim Ducks and the Los Angeles Kings. Czech business managers have reportedly been discussing the possibility of a Prague game with NHL representatives, reportedly lobbying for the New York Rangers to play in the Czech capital; New York is home to Czech star Jaromir Jagr.
