I hope we delay until the very last moment possible, rather than just write the league off next season in the next few weeks. The NHL are likely to delay starting next season until December, which will mean next year finishes later than usual. So if they can, why can’t the rest follow? I’m sure several EU leagues will start later than October, if the virus situation allows. Does it matter if the EIHL starts in December and finishes in say, June? I’m sure stuff like the world championships will be put back as well. Of course, that all depends on whether the virus is still effecting everything.
