A maximum of 150 fans will be allowed in the stands at each game and the SJHL says they will have to wear masks.

The SJHL had hoped to start the season on Sept. 25, but that was delayed as the league worked with the Saskatchewan Health Authority on a return-to-play plan.

A player with the Melfort Mustangs tested positive for the coronavirus in late September.
