We interrupt the NHL Free Agency Frenzy for the latest updates from the ECHL as they attempt to get the 2020-2021 season off the ground.
Originally, the league had announced in August a target date of December 4th to start the season. With nearly all ECHL cities nowhere close to reopening home arenas for fans, the league has pushed back the start of the season to two different dates.
Thirteen ECHL teams, including the Orlando Solar Bears, will start a full 72-game schedule on December 11th. Allen, Florida, Greenville, Indy, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Rapid City, South Carolina, Tulsa, Utah, Wheeling, and Wichita will also start their campaigns.
