So are they just screwed here?

How does that even work? Can they play the two CT EHL teams instead or do they really just get stuck with no games for as long as this lasts?

They are screwed as far as league play just like teams from other states that only have 1 or 2 teams in their league.
For example MA Generals in NAHL.

Honestly, I don't know, because I don't think we know what "exceptions" have been granted. The Maine NAHL team played in Attleboro on Thursday, which shouldn't have been allowed. They did play, though.

But, then, the game the next day was canceled.

And, if the NAHL has an exception, does NCDC?
