Wolfpack won't play in Toronto this season due to travel and other restrictions - Sportsnet.ca

The Toronto Wolfpack will start and finish the 2020 Super League season in England.

"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," Toronto CEO and chairman Bob Hunter said in an open letter to fans.

Rubbing salt in the wound, Toronto fans also woke up to the news Thursday that winger Liam Kay, the team’s all-time leading scorer and first-ever player signing, had left to join Wakefield Trinity. The schedule grows more crowded near the end of the season with Toronto playing its final six games over three weeks.

That’s not a problem when the Wolfpack are spending part of the season in Canada. But the global pandemic has kept the players in England and the visas are slated to expire at the end of the month.
