Islanders: NHL Needs to setup interactive NHL20 tournament

From 2012-2019, the global eSports market has grown from $130 million yearly to $1.1 billion in 2019. It's expected to reach almost $2 billion by 2022, but with regular sports being put on hold, expect that number to be driven up significantly. Here's the chance for the NHL and the New York Islanders to do something cool and help out its employees.

The NHL should make a deal with advertisers and the popular streaming site Twitch, and hold a tournament where all of the proceeds go to workers affected by the Coronavirus. Each team can pick their best NHL '20 player and have them enter the tournament from the luxury of their own home, and we can all watch from the luxury of our own home.
