#NHL season has been suspended. The league is on hiatus, with hope that it’s a short pause to protect player and staff health and safety.
Quote:
The health, safety and well-being of our fans, staff and players remain the most important priority of Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation. CSEC is in full support of the National Hockey League's decision to pause the 2019-20 season due to COVID - 19.
As a result of this decision, the Flames home game this evening versus the New York Islanders and Saturday versus the Winnipeg Jets will not take place as originally scheduled. In addition, the National Lacrosse League game scheduled for this weekend at the Scotiabank Saddledome is suspended.
We are currently working on answers to frequently asked questions from our various stakeholders and it is our intention to communicate on a regular basis as this situation is fluid.
As with the NHL, we are hopeful to resume the season and playoffs when appropriate and prudent.
