NHL Expansion Vote Scheduled For June 22

June 22 nd is a date for Las Vegas hockey fans to remember. 

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that’s when the National Hockey League’s governing board will decide whether to bring Bill Foley and his proposed expansion team into the league.  The league also holds its awards show that day at the Hard Rock Hotel.

At a news conference on Monday, Commissioner Gary Bettman mentioned three options: one or two team expansions for the 2017-2018 season, postponing expansion until 2018 or shelving the idea entirely.
