The KIJHL announced Saturday the cancellation of its 2020/21 regular season and playoffs, including the Teck Cup championship.
Kootenay International Junior Hockey League worked its very best to try to get a hockey season in during a pandemic.
However, following the recent decision by BC Provincial Health to extend the province-wide ban on social gatherings and events, indefinitely, due to the citing concerns of the growing number of COVID-19 variant cases, the league announced Saturday the cancellation of its 2020/21 regular season and playoffs, including the Teck Cup championship.
“We are disappointed for our players, team staff, volunteers, sponsors, game officials and fans that the 2020/21 season will not be completed,” said KIJHL commissioner Jeff Dubois in a media release.
