The Erste Bank Eishockey Liga has to end the current season. With this action, the League is responding to the measures and recommendations of the governments and competent authorities in the participating countries. Details: http://bit.ly/Saison_beendet |
While radical, they had played 40/44 games, and 1st and 2nd place teams were essentially guaranteed already. (Red Bull Salzburg had a five point lead, and Vienna Capitals were 10 points above the third.) With no playoffs, it's not as big of a deal as it would be in most other leagues.
