Of course, it’s possible that the 2019-20 season is simply lost to the pandemic. With shelter in place and social distancing lasting until May at the very earliest, it’s very possible we get to a point where trying to restart play simply isn’t feasible.

But I think that at some point we will be back and if not, I think it’ll be a great reason for that.”
