Should Fans Be Concerned About the NHL Season Being Canceled?

It’s impossible to keep up with the havoc the COVID-19 virus is wreaking on the hockey world at the moment. It seems almost every passing hour, another European league is cancelling its season or another NHL team is being recommended to either postpone their games or play them in front of no fans. Wednesday evening, the Blue Jackets announced they will play their remaining home games with restricted attendance, allowing only “home and visiting club personnel, credentialed media and broadcast partners, essential club and arena staff and NHL officials.” The San Jose Sharks followed suit with a similar announcement, closing three March home games to the public.
