WHL arenas would need to be filled to minimum 50 per cent capacity for season to start
KAMLOOPS — WHL Commissioner Ron Robison knows an Oct. 2 start date may be aspirational.
But much can change in the next four months, and as we get closer to that target date, we’ll know for sure if it’s a reality.
“The position that we have taken is that we need all six jurisdictions — the four Western provinces and Washington and Oregon — ready to go in order to start our season,” said Robison during a Zoom media call on Thursday (June 18). “If we feel that there is one jurisdiction that is weeks away or a short period of time away, we might consider how we could schedule around that.”
