In case you missed it over the weekend, the Western Hockey League announced they are committed to having some kind of season, somehow.

Rumours had been flying that major junior hockey would be cancelled this season, but the WHL sent out a media release over the weekend, committed to playing a 24-game season.

“The Western Hockey League is committed to providing a season for WHL players,” said WHL Commissioner Ron Robison in a media release. “This commitment ensures WHL players will receive the opportunity to compete at the highest level in the system and continue to pursue their hockey goals in the world’s finest development league for junior hockey players.”

No date has been decided for the shortened season.
