Plan in the works to have PJHL return with fans in stands

The Provincial Junior Hockey League are formulating their return-to-play plan for the upcoming season.

North Conference Manager Doug Kennedy says they have two sets of schedules, one to start December 1st with 24 games, the other beginning January 1st with 18 games.

In both cases, the regular season would end March 7th with four rounds of playoffs followed by a tournament similar to the Memorial Cup where the four conference winners will play for the Schmalz Cup.

Kennedy says there are rules currently in place regarding workouts.

Kennedy says part of the plan would also see the return of fans in the stands at a smaller capacity.

He says the PJHL is working with the OJHL (Junior A), the GOJHL (Junior B), the Ontario Hockey Association, and the Ontario Hockey Federation in the development of a return-to-play plan.
