Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 3693779, member: 1023"] It makes sense because: a. There is a global pandemic going on b. It is not the sort of thing you can re-schedule in 2-weeks if 1 or more teams are unavailable due to that pandemic c. Schools want to have flexibility in their schedules in the event that games need to be postponed due to the pandemic d. The leagues all seem to be moving toward conference only schedules. e. Even if fans can attend, a question for sure, not sure they will and in any case, how do you market “well, maybe you can come, to see teams who probably will play but we aren’t really certain if there is an outbreak at one of them...”. f. Why incur the costs when it is so up in the air? There is talk that the Beanpot will be played but there is also talk it won’t for exactly the above reasons. I think we can all agree CT Ice is not the Beanpot. In any case 3/4 of that tourney also play in Hockey East so if need be you could, for example, make any Matchups between league teams league games if you needed to do make up games. [/QUOTE]
