It is very unlikely the Western Hockey League begins play in early October. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rear its ugly head across North America, tossing curve balls at just about any and all form of group gathering. While the days of enjoying live sporting events are firmly […]
Much has been made of the impact on teams and players since the Western Hockey League ceased operations in mid-March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
