"While we are disappointed to announce the postponement of any event at the BB&T Center, the safety of our fans, staff and the people of South Florida is always our top priority," said Executive Chairman Peter Luukko.

They have officially called it a postponement, but there have been no plans announced for a make up game, or even a loose timeline of when that could take place, so for the time being we are viewing this as a cancellation of the game.
