The NHL and the NHL Players' Association have reached a tentative agreement on a Return to Play plan to restart the 2019-20 season, and a memorandum of understanding that adds an additional four years to the term of the current collective bargaining agreement. The next step in the process is the voting. The NHL board of governors must approve the agreements. Once the NHLPA's executive committee (one player rep from each of the 31 teams) gives the package its approval, the agreement moves forward to a full membership vote. The Return To Play plan includes rules and requirement for Phases 3 and 4 of the season restart, after the NHL paused its season on March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
