It’s October and the hockey world is still turned upside down in North America. The only major development league that has started play is the Quebec Major junior Hockey League, and we’re starting to see games being postponed as COVID-19 cases rise in certain parts of Quebec and New Brunswick.
No one else has made this move - the OHL, WHL, NCAA, and USHL are still delaying the start of their seasons, watching outbreaks and virus spread to see if they can begin play before the year ends.
The Maple Leafs have several prospects that should be spending time in the developmental leagues around the continent, but when or if they’ll play games is up in the air.
