On Monday, the AHL announced that the league will be cancelling the remainder of the 2019-20 regular season and 2020 Calder Cup Playoffs due to COVID-19.
The AHL is working hard to create a viable plan to play the 2020-21 season, but for this season at least, the Toronto Maple Leafs have already made plans to bring along a Toronto Marlies Taxi Squad with them for if/when the 2020 NHL Playoffs are set.
This is not a surprising development, as every year we get the famous “Black Aces” that travel with the Stanley Cup challenging teams once their AHL affiliates have concluded the season.
