Federal government clears path for NHL to have hub city in Canada: report
Move would allow league to bypass 14-day quarantine for anyone entering country

The federal government has made a move to try to help one of three Canadian markets become a hub city for the National Hockey League's resumption of play.
The official was granted anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the order publicly.
The order is awaiting the Governor General's signature.
WATCH | Trudeau on NHL hub cities:
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Marco Mendicino has issued a letter saying it's in the national interest to have a Canadian hub after the Public Health Agency of Canada and the public health authorities in Toronto, Edmonton and Vancouver all gave their approval of the NHL's plan to keep players separate from the general public.
It would be called a cohort quarantine.
The NHL had to present a plan that met public health requirements for Canada before the government proceeded with the order.
Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, and Minneapolis/St. Paul are in the running to be hub cities.
The NHL plans to start training camps for the 24 remaining teams on July 10 and hopes to resume play later in the summer.
