AHL season cancelled, what this means for the future and Wolf Pack

The inevitable has happened. After a conference call made Friday between the league and its Board of Governors, it was announced on Monday that the AHL will forego the remainder of the 2019-20 season and playoffs due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak. While not a shocking move given the league is reaching 2 months since play was suspended, this will mark the first time in the 84 year history of the league that a season will not reach its end and will also be the first time the Calder Cup will not be awarded, the longest said streak in hockey and possibly sports.
