Recognizing that the sporting world will be different when the 2020-2021 season rolls around, a AHL Return to Play task force will begin discussions of the future in a COVID-19 world.
Chaired by outgoing AHL President and Chief Executive Officer David Andrews, the Return to Play task force will not have any operational or management responsibility for executing the AHL’s return to play, but rather will provide strategic leadership to the league in developing or identifying opportunities for a return-to-play process that can gain widespread support in both the AHL and the National Hockey League.
Members of the AHL Return to Play task force:
• David Andrews, Chairman
• Mark Chipman – Chairman and Governor, Winnipeg Jets
