1/ Hearing that @hockey_east will announce tomorrow its intention to play its league season with all 11 members. Unlikely any team will begin play before mid-late Nov. and there may be as many as 30 league games. Focus will be on completing the league season above all else.

2/ There may be multiple iterations of schedules developed (24-game, 30-game, multiple start dates) and there is hope to have some flexibility if there are interruptions. Non-league games are possible if teams can find opponent/open dates.

3/ The intention will also be to hold the conference tournament as planned (8-teams, two weekends on current dates).

At this point everything is still very fluid but there seems to be a commitment from the member institutions and the league to play as much hockey as possible.

4/ Not hearing anything about whether or not there will be fans allowed, even at limited capacity, in arenas. But given the trends around sports, I doubt that will be possible at least at the onset.

5/ One other random note, I am hearing travel will be limited to day trips unless heading to Orono or Burlington (and when Maine/UVM travel, obviously). For example, UNH won’t be allowed to stay over at UConn the night before the game. Priority on limiting hotels stays.
