Tougher covid restrictions - risk to hockey?

That billion pounds that has been found is probably this year's tory Christmas party fund, which I'm guessing won't be happening now

its out of the queens tax payers money as shes staying at windsor for xmas as shes not having a jolly at sandringham..

Shouldn’t effect Fife or Dundee then lol!!

Just had an email say devils are issuing vouchers for tickets purchased, that can be used for other games when crowds are allowed back. No expiration date on voucher

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

I've had an email saying as a season ticket holder I'll get access to the live stream for the games behind closed doors.

 

[Earnie]

Me too.

Just another classy move from this organisation to offer a free webcast. Much appreciated.

 

[ryanxglenton]

Got mine, weren't expecting anything if I'm honest but well happy I can watch the games at home.

Observation on webcast:
I hope they dont have that unbelievably boring near 15 minutes of watching the zamboni driving round in circles. Id much prefer some analysis during the period breaks. Maybe if big lou isnt playing an interview could be a good watch.

The Club have done an astonishing amount of work in putting these solutions in place all in one day. This is on top of day to day work and preparation. Thank you Todd and Katrina and whoever else may be helping.

Fife - Cov tomorrow has just been called off. Fife in covid protocol. Not many teams left to play.

I wonder if they'll be allowed to open the bar on game night, I mean pubs will be open.

Would be mad if the rules allowed fans into the bar to watch the game on a screen but not to physically watch it in the actual rink area.

Put a giant screen up in the second pad area in IAW, have loads of tables on the concrete pad offering drinks/table service and watch the game in there as it’s taking place next door. Madness but possible as things stand!

Nice idea, but the whole point of the restriction is to try and limit large crowd events.

Do you think fans in rugby clubhouses up and down the country won’t be busy watching games taking place outside their windows over the next few weeks? They‘ll be forced to watch from busy bar areas and banned from watching outside in the fresh air. Just trying to highlight that these rules make no sense whatsoever.

Announcement on hospitality restrictions are taking place tomorrow, but in theory if pubs and bars are allowed to open- we could have this bizarre situation where we could legally sit in the IAW bar & watch on the telly.

Anyway I'll leave it at that.

Madness isn't it. Let's be honest.... if there was a furlough scheme behind this for the hospitality industry then that would be closed to, but punishing the sports fans is a bizarre way to control a virus we know very little about. I applaud the quick cautionary measures but the inconsistent and random application of it is a tad confusing. Let's all get smashed in the IAW bar and hug each other when the Devils score but don't go and watch it live. That's too dangerous.

Looks like big changes in the NHL.More game cancellations and NHL may not be sending players to the Olympics.
Perhaps they could organise AHL or European players to keep the competition going.

 

[Ceiberman]

All large events indoor / outdoor cancelled. Exception for team sports up to 50 spectators (I think)
