The NHL does not need any more bad optics as a league
I’d assume you’re correct. NBA didn’t even do an owners vote (mark Cuban found out via social media or on his phone lol)

The Leafs didn't cancel their morning skate. The NHL cancelled all morning skates league wide. Not looking good.

For sure you'll get a refund, I doubt it will be quick.If the league cancels the game, do you think the fans should be entitled to get a refund on the tickets?
I have tickets to tonights game...
I sold a pair for next week on StubHub, wonder how they'll handle that refund?

I know it's over. And it never really began. But in my heart, it was so real."

That would seem like the logical solution, to fall in line with other major sports and take some time to allow things to unfold with better information on how to move forward under these conditions.
Its even in the best interest of everyone including the owner's because butts in seats in home areas is what generates a large portion of their revenue in order to pay player salaries.. Playing games in empty arenas doesn't bring in gate receipts and doesn't pay the bills.
So not only for health & safety reasons as the #1 priority, but postponing and replaying at a later date in full arenas is the better option financially also.
They refund your credit card. At least MLSE does. They take your money for playoff tickets and then refund for games not played. This regular season thing who knows but I would bet heavy they refund price per game. Or maybe they will offset against playoffs (if any) or next season. Who knows how they will do it but eventually you will get your money back.If the league cancels the game, do you think the fans should be entitled to get a refund on the tickets?

They skated today at Ford? Wow. I am kinda surprised. But it may have been too late to stop it i guess.

They will be pushing any option that doesn't require paying money back.
Yes I assume that too. And us sheep will just accept it too. Kinda sad but no one want to ruffle up feathers.

I read that the Leafs did cancel the morning skate, here's the link:
NHL season halted? Sure looks like it
Not looking good, feels like the chances of hockey tonight are near zero.
Sorry if it's already been asked/answered but for those saying that the NHL is a gate-driven league and TV revenue isn't enough to keep the season going (if they play to empty arenas)....what about the NHL GameCentre / Centre Ice subscriptions they would have to refund 12 games is about 1/7th of the season....that's quite a bit of money to refund. Would it not make sense to keep the season going on a bare bones staff and keep that TV money already collected?

As a Leafs fan, this season has been pretty terrible...but I still didn't expect it to end in a pandemic!
I don't know either but the guy said Leafs had their skate ... if i was betting I'd say they didn't but unless u r at Ford how would u know?
sure I guess that’s true. But wouldn’t Shilton etc be there tweeting ?
Refs told to book flights home its over.

There are no reporters allowed. So only team personnel would be there. I mean no one would know either way i guess. Guys get to rink and I would assume coach would say boys we aren't skating go home. or maybe they did and it was not a team skate who knows. Da ice is booked so who knows who went on it.
