I went to a Charlottetown Islanders vs. Halifax Moosehead game a couple of nights ago. The building holds around 3,200 but only 900 fans were allowed to attend. You had to arrive early and your section determined which entrance you could use. Lots of areas were roped off so that your route was clear and ushers directed you. My friend and I were the only people in a 4 seat corner row. Nobody was seated in the row in front of us or the row behind us. Once seated you had to stay in your seat except to visit the bathroom. Food had to be ordered on your phone and masked servers delivered it to your seat. It was a very exciting game with hitting. Charlottetown won and it helps that they are in first place in the QMJHL with the best power play and penalty kill. The experience
was fine and not too weird. God, I love hockey! Maybe a model for the NHL? It also helps that PEI has only had a total of 68 cases of covid, with zero hospitalizations or deaths.
