Updated Start Dates for 20/21 Season

The USHL has announced that it is planning to open the regular season on Nov. 6. The USHL was the last of the for major junior leagues in North America to give a target starting date.

The QMJHL is looking to open the season on Oct. 1, while the OHL has marked Dec. 1 on its calendar and the WHL has Dec. 4 as its starting date. Both the AHL and the ECHL plan to begin on Dec. 4 as well.

In Europe, the KHL has Sept. 2 as its opening date, and it has already made some adjustments for the pandemic. The Beijing-based HC Kunlun Red Star has moved into a rink in the Moscow area for this season. Late last winter, the team completed the regular season in Russian rinks rather than stay in China.
