One suggestion is to start the season a week later. Oct 15th or
thereabouts is too early for hockey anyway. If the season was pushed back
a week, then there would be no bye week before the finals. I know it
probably can't be done with ice availability and such, but have schools
thought of this angle?
Just wondering,
