American Hockey League President and CEO Scott Howson announced a revised start date for the 2020-21 season on Thursday.
The AHL's Return to Play group recommended a start date of Dec. 4 for the 2020-21 season, and the date was approved by the AHL's Board of Governors.
The NHL is expected to start its 2020-21 season on Dec. 1, so the AHL would likely be following a similar timeframe. Further details on the AHL's schedule (and the NHL's schedule, for that matter) will be announced at a later date.
