The Cincinnati Cyclones have decided to opt-out of the 2020-2021 ECHL season. What does this mean for them and the Buffalo Sabres?

The ECHL affiliate of the Buffalo Sabres, the Cincinnati Cyclones, has decided not to play in the upcoming season. The Cyclones released a statement citing the reason for deciding against playing this year is due to the limit of people they can have in their arena at this time. With a team that is so reliant on ticket sales and money fans bring in, it is very understandable why they have decided against playing this year.
