Last week, the NHL announced that it would be pausing the 2019-20 NHL season until further notice due to concerns over COVID-19.
The NHL, along with many other hockey leagues around the world, have come to this decision to pause their seasons. For the Toronto Maple Leafs, this means it’ll be a while before the hunt for a playoff spot and Auston Matthews’ 50-goal campaign resumes.
For hockey fans everywhere, this isn’t news that was taken lightly. With so much hockey left to be played, I’m sure we’re all saddened r at the fact that there won’t be NHL hockey for a while.
