What’s your thoughts on a 21/22 season.
Will there be a 21/22 season starting this September? = Probably
Will capacity crowds be allowed this September? = Highly doubtful
The problem is that as has been said before the current EIHL/ Devils business model only works with near capacity bums on seats!
So maybe we’ll see a different model for the 21/22 season.
Personally I think we’ll see reduced number or reduced quality of imports, taking a couple of steps back to get into a position to take a step forward again.
Everything is riding on the next couple of months and how we come out of the phased lockdown restrictions,
everyone has a part to play in this but unfortunately around 5%-10% of the population appear not to give a shit!
Once 70% of the population have had a second jab we’ll be in a much better place to judge timescales etc,
however, we really need the rest of North America and Europe to catch up with their vaccination programs or
we’re still going to have travel restrictions or risk further COVID spikes and fire break lockdowns!
One thing for sure is that it’ll be a very challenging season in every aspect.
