The NHL is in the process of devising a uniform fan code of conduct that will be in place next season, Bettman said.

The concept has the support of the Player Inclusion Committee, Daly said.

"We're making sure we do this as a collaborative effort with all the clubs and getting all the appropriate feedback, suggestions and comments before we finalize it," the Commissioner said. "We want everybody who comes to our game to feel welcome, to feel safe, to feel this is an environment they can be comfortable in and what the level of conduct that's expected from people who go to games."

Bettman said the code of conduct will be announced in all buildings during games and that it will require training staff in terms of how to deal with incidents involving fan behavior.

"It deals with what the response would be to somebody if there is an incident," Commissioner Bettman said. "That's all going to be encompassed in a code of conduct."
