We just heard from the association we work with today and they're trying to get registration going and hope to have people on the ice next week.

Not only that, but as we get into late March and April ice demand typically drops for MHA's but we see beer leaguers, shinny groups etc. pick it up. Best case scenario for minor hockey is adult leagues will still be a no go and it will be a scramble to re-allocate ice to minor hockey on an ad hoc basis. Worst case scenario is we see adult sports start up and there will be no ice available for minor hockey. But that won't happen until April.
