With the 2020-21 AHL season on the horizon as the league shoots for a February 5 start date, there will likely be a handful of teams that opt out for the year due to financial concerns or other logistical speedbumps.
While the damage may not be as bad as initially feared, the AHL has confirmed Tony Androckitis's initial report that the Milwaukee Admirals will be one of the teams who opt out of the upcoming season.
On January 5, the AHL held a Board of Governors meeting to continue finalizing details for the year—including playing locations, division realignments, playoffs, and shared affiliates.
