OHL RTP
The Ontario Hockey League today announced that it is planning to return to play on December 1, 2020, subject to ensuring that the players, fans, staff and community are able to play and attend games safely. Over the next four months the League will continue to work with government and health agencies to finalize outstanding issues such as safe attendance at venues and cross border travel for teams and players.
“We are looking forward to getting back to playing hockey, but are committed to ensuring that we do so in a manner that is safe and healthy for our players, officials, families, billets, teams, staff, fans and the community,” said OHL Commissioner David Branch. “Players will remain at home until the season resumes and teams will work closely with them on both their academic studies and overseeing their on and off-ice development. In addition, the League will liaise with our facilities to ensure that our venues are safe for our return to play.”
The season will include a 64-game schedule and a 16-team playoff format. The regular season is scheduled to end on Thursday April 29, 2021. The 102nd Memorial Cup presented by Kia is scheduled to be played June 17-27, 2021 and will be hosted by either the Oshawa Generals or Soo Greyhounds.

GAO Release
The start of round two came with sunshine and clear skies at Dalewood Golf Club for the Ontario Women’s Amateur and Mid-Amateur Championship. Due to the severe weather delays experienced yesterday, eleven groups resumed round one at 8:00 a.m. and round two was pushed back an hour to an 8:30 a.m. start. As the day progressed, the wind increased and so did the scores.
With the Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship moving into tomorrow for their third and final round, leader of round two Nonie Marler, Public Player, completed her round with a notable four birdies and three bogeys (144). In a two way tie for second is 2017 champion Judith Kyrinis, (Granite GC), and Lindsey Hummel (St. Thomas G&CC). Following round three will be the awards ceremony for the Mid-Amateur division only.
Afterwards Maler, who also plays out of Marine Drive Golf Club in BC, had this to say about her round. “I feel like it was an improvement over yesterday, so I was pleased with that. I had a good game plan and committed to my shots more”. She added, “I had one practice round under my belt and having the first round with two rounds now, I felt like I knew the course a lot better today to be able to give myself the best opportunity possible and really capitalize on it”.
Climbing the leaderboard of the Women’s Amateur Championship is GO Public Player, Sydney Naro, with one under on the front and two over on the back, for an overall one over through 2 rounds (142). Following in second with four birdies for the day is first round leader Claire Hernandez (Thornhill Club).
