It looks like the Niagara IceDogs will not return to the Meridian Centre this fall.

The OHL has decided to delay the start of its season to December 1st due to the pandemic.

There should be 64-games this year and the Memorial Cup finals will be held in Oshawa or Sault Ste. Marie in June.

The league still has to finalize some of the details with government officials and public health agencies including cross border travel.

There are only three American OHL teams; the Erie Otters, the Saginaw Spirit and the Flint Firebirds.
