North American sports leagues — including hockey, football, basketball and university sports — will ramp up during the flu season this fall and winter but few are planning for worst-case scenarios that would see games or seasons cancelled and millions of dollars of revenues lost.
The National Hockey League’s response is typical.
“We’ve focused on it and met internally to discuss the matter but at this time we have no firm ‘cancellation’ or other contingency plan in place,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “We will continue to monitor the situation and step up our preparation efforts if and when it becomes necessary.”
