I figure - I get the idea. I’m isolated. I’m already taking the recommended actions. I don’t need to watch some smiling airhead give me the daily body count, nor the political and as you mention, medical arguing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HockeyDad Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I’m still fuzzy as to why some of you think corps will fold due to cancelling the season. Maybe that’s a new thread but can you help me understand? My mindset is that we are pushing a big Pause button on the activity and so absent any recurring payments a corps would need to make (for example - monthly mortgage or other payments), things don’t much change financially. But I haven’t given it much thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sadly it seems medical arguing is politically driven 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corps/ dci will have to refund ticket money. Some have people that gat year round salary that is contractually obligated to be paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
