CALGARY — Western Hockey League teams need their arenas at least half full with spectators next season to operate, according to the league’s commissioner.
“ to arrive at a capacity that will allow our teams to resume operations. We have set at the present time approximately a minimum of 50 per cent capacity for that to occur. Six jurisdictions with different levels of infection, health restrictions and re-launch plans, plus a currently closed Canada-U.S. border make planning for a 2020-21 season complicated, Robison acknowledged.
“The start date will dictate our ability to get to our full 68-game schedule. If we get to a January start date, that’s going to be very difficult to accomplish.The 18-team Quebec Major Junior Hockey League also wants to play a 68-game schedule starting Oct. 1.
They're not half full when things are normal?
Gonna be like going to the Lafs for a game. $$$$
Well that’s not gonna happen so what’s their next move?
Normal sports won't happen untill 2027 earliest
