Kings defenseman Matt Roy said the team voted for the NHL plan to resume play even though it ended their season because it was best for the league.
Here’s what Southland hockey fans can look forward to without the Kings or Ducks participating in the playoffs that will take place as early as July.
“We obviously want to come back and return,” Roy said. “But we also don’t want to risk being injured for playing only a few games that don’t really get us anywhere.” When the plan was proposed May 21 to the union’s 31-player executive board, comprised of representatives from each team, there was reportedly tense debate about the format. But when the votes were returned a day later, the players from all but two teams said yes.“It’s hard because every player is in a different situation, whether it’s in their career or financially,” Roy said. “Everyone’s got a different opinion.
“We’re focused on right now and the next couple months, staying safe and starting our summer workout program in preparation for later in the fall, in the winter,” Roy said. “Even though the Kings aren’t in it this year, we’re doing everything we can to prepare for next season.”
