Apologies for bringing the news late. Drew’s been under the weather this week.
- St. Thomas’ bid to jump to division one has been approved. A likely landing spot would be the CCHA.
- The MAC has delayed the start of fall sports to (at least) September 3rd.

All games tied after three periods will proceed to a five minute, three-on-three overtime period. Assumption is the WCHA will continue the shootout for league games tied after the overtime period.

This is probably the best chance for a season this year. Will be interesting to see how the western leagues handle this with some road trips requiring flights.
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.

This will give the CCHA the ability to have a balanced 28 game league schedule.
Unfortunately this also means UAH’s options for a league home for 2021-2022 are running out.

BGSU is still planning on offering face-to-face instruction when the fall semester begins in a few weeks.
They’re also offering $1,500 for students who had previously signed up for on-campus housing to not live in the dorms.

Myocarditis is inflammation of the walls of the heart. This can lead to heart failure and death.

If I had to make an assumption the season will most likely begin around Thanksgiving.
Expect a statement Thurs. from the Hockey Commisioners’ Assoc. that could be alarming to fans but is not. Will announce no games played before November, at earliest. Not new news, been reported for nearly two months. Does seem all six conferences working together, a major plus.
