Only last week WG said that public gatherings at sporting events was not likely to happen until next year and that it was right at the end of the spectrum in terms of relaxing distancing measures.
It is possible that as an elite sport (pun not intended), hockey could technically be played before that, but a) it is not practical for the teams for the reasons already mentioned in this thread and b) teams would not be able to finance testing or facilitate a bio-tech environment.
The league and teams can't comment or give definitive statements because they can't get a definitive answer from the authorities, as they cannot officially make those decisions yet.
As I've said from the very beginning though - look logically at the enormity of the issues and it's not hard to come to the conclusion that there won't be hockey until 2021 at the very earliest.
Honestly, I'd be surprised if we even compete in the CHL.
