All Ontario teams will be limited to 50% capacity at home games starting Saturday December 18 after Ontario unveiled new COVID19 rules.
The Maple Leafs, the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Raptors will be affected.
The new rule allows 50% capacity for any indoor venue with a capacity of 1000 and more.
"This measure is being taken to reduce opportunities for close contact in high-risk indoor settings with large crowds and when masks are not always worn," the Ontario government said in a media release
"At the present time, let's say sports arenas, hockey arenas still at full capacity, that's something that I think needs to be looked out," Dr. Howard Njoo said.
Wel will wait and see if other provinces follow
