This is fantastic news!!!!

Admittedly, I won't be sitting for 3 hours shoulder to shoulder or even 6' apart with even another 300 people let alone 3000 until a vaccine is developed - I'm sure I'm not alone in this thinking.

You are correct, you are not alone on this .

More concerning to me is the Standard article about our head Doctor's concerns here in Niagara....

You are not alone. It would be irresponsible to put 5000 people into the MC before a vaccine.

One of our members - " the dog" posted this in the off topic thread.
I stole it and brought it here, thinking it might be a worthy conversation. Would anyone here agree with the start up scenario in British Columbia?
The Dog wrote - "BCHL announces tentative Dec 1st start date to 2020-21 regular season."

I am guessing it will be a similar date for the OHL.

CCHL JR LEAGUE in ontario announce a fixed start date for 2020-2021 OCT 1

From twitter - Josh Bell THW (whoever that is)


#QMJHL aiming for an Oct. 1 start date. Key points:

- 60 games instead of 68
- Camps start Aug 26
- League redeveloped into 3 divs of 6 teams - all games will be vs div rivals.
- Max 34 players at camp instead of 60 (?)
- Obviously, spectators are still a question mark.

Any guess from our members as to a starting date for hockey? With or without fans?

[Dogs Enthusiast 104]

My guess is December without fans. January with fans.
