As December begins, many of the Maple Leafs prospects are losing their places to play hockey, and the future is far from certain for any of them.
- The Finnish Mestis league has suspended operations for the rest of 2020, with hopes to resume in January. Mac Hollowell has been playing there, and will likely return to Toronto now.
- The QMJHL is also suspending operations entirely for one month, with a tentative plan to resume in late January, either with a normal schedule to get as close to 60 games played as they can, or in bubbles like they used recently in Quebec City.
