No real indication on fan situation. I believe they're expecting to start without fans and play it by ear.

No indication of what will be done with American teams as the border remains a huge concern. It does sound like they're entertaining temporary relocation of American teams.

64 Game Regular season.

Expect to see a more divisional schedule as well. #OHL has made it a goal to reduce travel.

With a schedule already crammed just based on time constraints, less travel will help.

Much like what the QMJHL announced.

Jeff Marek just tweeted out the same info as more than a few others.

However(and apologies if this has been said already), there has been talk about what to do with Erie, Flint and Saginaw. There was an idea to have a host city in Ontario but the teams weren't in favor of it.

Announcement tomorrow @ 11am.

I simply can?t see the teams crossing the border this season ... I suppose the virus situation could improve in the USA before a Dec 1 start date .... but I suppose the situation could also worsen

I for one am quite fine having the border closed until next year ....

I’m in favour of a border closure in effect indefinitely; until a vaccine is discovered, approved, widely distributed and fully in use in Canada. If that takes 2 years, 5, 10 years, so be it.

An article from the Peterborough examiner, yesterday on the OHL plan to return to play. I hope the link works. LOL

As an American, I cannot disagree with that take. Not one bit. Canada has managed this a HELL of a lot better than Americans have. And that goes even for my home state(New York)-which has had some success after getting completely gobsmacked at the outset.

Honestly, it kills me not to be able to take OHL games on your side of the border.

Wonder if this is the OHL plan too https://www.stcatharinesstandard.ca/...-capacity.html

I would’ve thought both leagues would say 50% IMO I don’t feel like 30 is enough
