Unexpected and unexplained postponements in the AHL are a bit concerning

A bit of an odd, unexplainable situation has developed in the American Hockey League over the past couple of days.

At some point on Thanksgiving afternoon, someone shut off the ice making machine at Toyota Arena, home of the AHL's Ontario Reign. It's unclear who shut it off, or how long it was shut off for but the ice was likely melting for upwards of 12-24 hours according to Mayor's Manor.

Later on Friday afternoon, the AHL released a statement announcing that both of Ontario's games have been postponed for this weekend.

"The American Hockey League today announced that the Ontario Reign's home games tonight vs. the Bakersfield Condors (AHL Game #236) and Saturday vs. the San Jose Barracuda (AHL Game #250) have been postponed due to a malfunction of the ice-making equipment at Toyota Arena. Make-up dates have yet to be determined," they said.
