All, as all of us can agree, we cannot wait until 2020 is over and as we navigate into 2021, we hope to resume some of our normalcy. With Covid-19 ramping up again and the numbers on the rise, we feel as a league that the risk is too great for our teams and we have decided to cancel the 2020/2021 season. Believe me we have met numerous times as a board over the last few months and our hope was to have a shortened season as the last thing we wanted to do was cancel the season, especially for the seniors.

Last night the league had a meeting with all the club reps to discuss the options for the upcoming 2020-2021 hockey season. First, as of now USA hockey is only allowing 25 people max in an ice rink. This includes 10 players from each team, one coach for each team, two referees, a scorekeeper and zero fans.

Not an ideal situation, but one we might have to accept.
