NAHL Pauses Regular Season Games Due to COVID-19

Johnstown Tomahawks News Release
The North American Hockey League (NAHL) has announced that effective immediately all scheduled 2019-20 NAHL regular season games have been paused until further notice due to the COVID-19 virus and outbreak.
Statement from NAHL Commissioner Mark Frankenfeld:
"This is an unprecedented time and situation, so first and foremost we want to be sure we are doing what is best for our players, teams, fans, and officials. In the past 24 hours, it became clear that we needed to follow a path that was consistent with what has transpired in the hockey world, particularly with our partners at USA Hockey, the NCAA, the NHL, and USHL."
"We will continue to monitor the situation daily with everyone involved and we understand that given the current landscape, things could change at any moment. Our number one goal is to resume play as soon as possible, but only when we feel it is safe for all of the parties involved. The NAHL Board of Governors will reconvene on a conference call on Friday to discuss further action."
"While public safety remains at the forefront and takes precedent in this situation, we are also mindful of the opportunity that will hopefully be presented to all of our athletes during these important events in the near future."
TICKETS:
Fans holding tickets for either the 3/13 or 3/14 game are encouraged to hold the tickets for a date to be announced. With the pause of the season, there is still a possibility for these games to be played. In the event that a makeup date cannot be determined, the valid tickets for 3/13 and 3/14 will be honored at a future Tomahawks home game in the 2019-20 season (including playoffs), as well as the 2020-221 season.
The Johnstown Tomahawks thank-you for continued support and understanding.
