Toronto confirm no games in Canada this year

Toronto Wolfpack have confirmed they will not be able to host games in Canada for the rest of the 2020 season.

Their first game was supposed to take place in April against Hull FC, but that was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Currently, the city of Toronto is still in a partial lockdown. It has recorded over 1,100 deaths since the start of the pandemic.

The open letter to supporters from CEO Bob Hunter says: “Regrettably for the Wolfpack, the challenges around travel, international border protocols, and the hosting of public events in Toronto have proved too significant for the team to be able to host games at Lamport Stadium this season.

“This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, and we vow to return to Toronto bigger and better than ever before in 2021.”
