The lack of information isn't helpful for sure. If covid does really kick off again I can't imagine the season continuing.

If there's enough covid in the panthers camp to cancel tomorrow's storm game then its hard to see how they can play Devils on Saturday

Well if omicron is as bad as they are saying on telly, I can't see the season being completed.
So if the season does get cancelled! Who covers the cost of the players and staff etc?
There won’t be any furlough or any sort of money to help the already crippled economy ! So can’t see it happening myself. They’ve said get the jab now get the booster , if the do tighten restrictions or lockdown again there would be anarchy

Players are paid per game so basically the season ends so do the pay cheques.
Interesting article

It's a very difficult situation but if the health service is dangerously overrun, that will become the priority. You're right in that it raises huge issues but the health service cannot collapse.
As for the jabs and booster, it's a pandemic - the threat doesn't just go away completely as we're now seeing. If this new variant had not emerged, then we'd be in quite a different situation. The chances of new variants emerging increase with how widely the virus is able to circulate and until we're on top of it, we will continue to run the risk of ending back in this situation.
Football League clubs are worried about having to play behind closed doors once again. If that's a possibility, then there's good reason for the EIHL to be worried. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was some sort of precautionary break early in the new year.
