More games without spectators or even a cancellation of the playoffs - everything is possible, ZSC's CEO Peter Zahner says.

No spectators in Lugano for tomorrow's derby.

With the playoffs just around the corner and the Coronavirus leading to first measures in the Swiss hockey landscape, everything is currently completely open for the upcoming weeks, ZSC Lions CEO Peter Zahner says to the Tages-Anzeiger: "Also that the playoffs will be played in front of empty stands - or even cancelled."

On Monday, the clubs will meet for an extraordinary league meeting and discuss the further procedure. This weekend also a meeting of the Medical Comittee of the IIHF will take place.

Three games of the regular season are already set to be played behind closed doors. Moreover, it is possible that also Saturday's game between HC Davos and the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers will be held without spectators. HCD wants to take a decision until noon today, the Südostschweiz reports.
