2020 UVM offseason: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

The 20-21 schedule is now up on the UVM Athletics website, along with the news that every game will either be broadcast on NESN or streamed for free by ViacomCBS. While this has me quite excited, I have to wonder how this meshes up with the fact just this week the state of VT prohibited travel to the state unless there's a 14 day quarantine. Does this not make it impossible for UVM to host out of state teams and also to travel to play out of state and then return to VT? Does anyone know if they received some sort of exemption from the state? Or is the 20-21 schedule a mirage that will never happen?

This does NOT include intercollegiate athletics. College hockey and squeekyball are fine.
 
Picked last in the coaches poll. Nowhere to go but up. Should be a lower pressure season for the players.....except they have a new coach to prove themselves to...

I've got my fingers crossed, although I have my doubts. I just don't see what's gonna be different in mid December. If anything, the COVID situation will worse. Thus, I'm trying to wrap my mind around the idea of no hockey this season. Not there yet, as the idea just really sucks.

I'm optimistic, but it's a bit strange to postpone it until the 18th? Why not postpone it until after the christmas holidays? It's possible they are using all of the "flex days" in trying to cut down on the current spike. Students are being given the option to head home early and there are no in-person classes scheduled after thanskgiving break.

I'd really like to see what Woodcroft has done with the team, hopefully we don't have to wait until next Oct.
