On Wednesday the league postponed seven more games bringing the total number of games to be reschedule to 49 due to issues surrounding COVID-19.

Ticket exchanges will be in effect at a later date and will allow for alterations with future games when rescheduled dates have been determined.

Fans are being asked to hold onto tickets for the time being as the franchise navigates through the new restrictions.

All in-person viewing of every game will be prohibited until the final week of January, when the league is expected to receive more direction following a public health update.
