It's "quite likely" the American Hockey League will cancel its season because of the coronavirus pandemic, a person with direct knowledge of the discussions told The Associated Press on Monday.

The source spoke on the condition of anonymity because they're not authorized to discuss the league's plans.

The AHL wouldn't confirm or deny the report, stating there is "nothing imminent."

The league suspended its season March 12, the same day the NHL did.
