As long as there are no fans in the stands, anything below NHL hockey, at least in the US, is going to generate zero broadcast interest. So with no revenue sources, any games. will be costs borne by the club.
Since it seems the next NHL season isn't likely to start before January, hopefully the situation will improve by then.
