The COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of 2020 hit the sports industry hard. Many professional leagues across the globe suspended their seasons, including the National Hockey League in the United States. At the time the season was suspended in March 2020, the teams of the NHL had each played between 32 and 37 of their allocated 41 home games. It is estimated that each team will lose an average of 1.31 million U.S. dollars in ticket sales alone for each home game that is canceled due to the coronavirus.
