Probably not since it likely would cannibalize their own show, and they're just using it to fill in content in the meantime since Sportscenter would go deeper into other subjects than hockey; and there's not much of that going on obviously.

But it's a thought.
Don't care so much about NFL and NBA but it would be nice if we had access to more college football content - analysis and games.

I'll put money on either

(A) No NHL until September 2021
(B) Playoffs empty stadiums

So I was thinking. With whatever remaining games we have left if by chance the season is done. I kinda wonder if they will add the remaining games in for next season's schedule. All preseason games turn into regular season games than playoffs start mid March early April as per usual.

It would be very NHL if they go to 24 team playoff I keep hearing about and it's Montreal vs. Chicago is the final.

It's New Jersey. COVID-19 is only one of many things you're likely to catch there.

Kevin Durant is one of the Nets who has it. Bad year for him, what with his bad knee, losing in the finals, and now this.

Probably mentioned, but it looks like the KHL finally pulled the plug. It took Jokerit to pull their team from the playoffs, but now the league followed suit.

A-League is still going, moved to Sydney and Melbourne. A team, Wellington even had players test positive.

Aussie love their sports.

This is a domino effect that I dont want to see, but may be inevitable.

At least we know the NHL will hold out as long as humanly possible.

Wonder whether they'll just have Kelowna host the Memorial Cup next year and push the 2021 hosts back a year.

Think for majority of touring tournaments that were impacted by this will (or at least should) host next year to make up for this year being cancelled.

Ottawa Senators confirm first NHL player to test positive for COVID-19

https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-sen...d-19-1.4857649

Player unnamed as of yet, but they did play in San Jose in early March when it was a thing there.
