The start of the upcoming 2020-21 AHL season has been pushed back to February due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
The news was announced on Wednesday by AHL President and CEO Scott Howson.
The start date for the season is now set for February 5, but the league says that further details are still being worked out.
In a piece discussing how minor league hockey has adjusted to life during the pandemic, Howson spoke at length with ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski.
Howson specifically mentioned being unsure about if all teams will return to play, when they will play, or where they will play.
