Matt Ross: BREAKING: Checkers Opt Out of 2020-21 Season

Florida goalie prospect battle for gold!

I have a close friend in Springfield Mass. She says the NHL clubs pay the AHL player salaries. Obviously there are other expenses but I am surprised teams opted out. Also, I’d guess nobody is televising AHL games so there should be some jump in AHL.Tv revenue; although likely not much of an offset for fans in the seats.

The Springfield Indians lost their home Arena to the war effort after the 1941-42 season and didn’t play again until 1945-46. Hopefully this is just another bump in the road for them and there other two teams taking the season off.
