If oua team pulls out of season. It’s money

Pretty much every OUA athletics department will save money by having the province cancel the rest of the season.

I didn't like it because I "like" it, but because it's true. Sadly....

So, if the OUA's season is cancelled, could there still be a possibility of a Cup, with only AUS and CanadaWest?

I find it extremely hard to believe USports would proceed with a Cup excluding half its member conferences (RSEQ & OUA).

Who knows if the AUS will even play? Current restrictions are in place (in NS) until 31 Jan.

I'd be happy if we get 3-4 exhibition games between UNB-Moncton at this point....

The OUA has posted that it is hoping to resume its season. IF they are allowed to resume, teams will need at least a week of practice to get their conditioning back. Mid-February is an optimistic bet right now.

One factor for all conferences is the academic year.

Exam periods typically start the first week of April, meaning seasons need to be wrapped up by late March. At this point, I think the best we can hope for (and likely the best that the conferences hope for) is to have a conference playoffs.

So, what you're implying is that the OUA will Not be part of a U-CUP, if it actually happens.

I'm saying there won't be a University Cup.

Once again I find myself agreeing with you. Barring a Complete "destruction" of Covid, NS Health would not allow it to happen.

 

[RED ARMY EAST]

No, but they won't have a problem with having a Frozen Four.

More big OUA players gone

Michael Bullion (G-Ontario Tech) to Norfolk
Austin Eastman (F-Ontario Tech) to Greenville
Joe Manchurek (F-Toronto) to Wichita
Luke Peressini (G-Ryerson) to Worcester

I'm going to the Frozen Four. Don't jinx me.

U SPORTS: Sounds like the OUA will come back in February. More news next week regarding schedules and competitions. 50% fans according to Ontario Gov. restrictions.

50% fans is not of concern in the OUA!

But not allowed on the ice until January 31st is a concern. Won't be able to start games before Feb 12-13. Going to be tight to get much season in.

And, again, there's the question of Quebec teams.

The Gardens has a capacity of 4680, so seating shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

You're only allowed 50% up to 500 people in ontario unfortunately

So the Leafs are capped at 500?

So, 500 people for a Leaf or Sens game? I don't think so.....

 

[Lakeheadfan95]

Until february 21st then its 50%

 

[Lakeheadfan95]
