Maple Leafs pause team activities through holiday break

NEW YORK -- The National Hockey League announced today that due to concern with the number of positive cases within the last several days, as well continued COVID spread, the Toronto Maple Leafs will pause team activities through the scheduled completion of the League's Holiday Break in the schedule on Dec. 26. The decision was made by the NHL's, the NHLPA's and the Club's medical groups.

A decision on when the Maple Leafs' training facilities will re-open will be made by the League and the NHLPA in the coming days. The League is in the process of reviewing and revising the Maple Leafs' regular-season schedule. The Maple Leafs' lone remaining scheduled game before the Holiday Break, Thursday vs. St. Louis, had been postponed previously.
The Maple Leafs have followed, and will continue to follow, all recommended guidelines aimed at protecting the health and safety of their Players, staff and community at large as set by the NHL, local, state and federal agencies.
