"I'm never going to take this for granted again."
Due to travel restrictions, these 3 Canadian clubs were unable to travel between Canada and the United States for a much of the 2020 and 2021 seasons. As a result, each club had to base out of remote 'home' locations -- in places like Orlando, Miami, and Salt Lake City.
The time away from home was more challenging than most, however these supporters found a way to stay connected to their teams and each other. Finally in July of 2021, it was announced that the teams would be given special permission to return to Canada and once again play games at home. Discover what it means to the supporters to have them back and what they learned through this challenging period.
