BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — With the National Hockey League set to return to play January 13 the American Hockey League may not be far behind.

American Hockey League President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Howson released the following statement regarding the league’s 2020-21 season:

“The American Hockey League Board of Governors has approved the structural framework for an AHL season that will begin on February 5, 2021.
