The conferences have been working together on plans to return with a focus on the health and safety of everyone associated with our campus communities. Due to the impact COVID-19 continues to have across the country and within higher education, the start of competition for the Division I college hockey season will be delayed. Each conference will announce details on game schedules, including the start dates, individually. We look forward to our players and fans enjoying the college hockey experience this season."

We all believe there is a path forward and look for that to come soon. The good thing is that this delay will not affect our team's preparation for when we do start the season. We're confident that day will come, and we will be ready to compete when it does."
