When the NHL suspended the 2019-20 season on March 12, they didn’t know when its teams would be able to resume play. Now, more than six weeks later, they still have no idea.

As long as the schedule is “suspended” tickets are not going to be refunded, an issue that is amplifying concerns for many during this time of economic uncertainty. With the economy in a deep recession and unemployment at astronomical levels, having money tied up in tickets for hockey games is the last thing people should be worrying about.
