Personally, I think they should just cancel the season now, and let spring hockey pick up the slack if/when restrictions are lifted. That at least gives people the choice of whether they want to be playing hockey into April, through school spring breaks etc., or lets them choose to play outdoor sports, instead, which have a much higher chance of actually happening.

Ice availability would be an issue. There's lots of shinny, beer league, spring hockey leagues, development camps etc. that have taken a lot of the ice and Hockey Calgary would be competing with them for ice. That said many rinks take their ice out as the 'regular' season ends but if they keep the ice in that would add some of it back to the pool.
