Detroit — The AHL is done for this season.

Hockey’s minor-league home to the Red Wings’ affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins, announced Monday it is canceling the remainder of its season and playoffs due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The AHL held a Board of Governors meeting Friday. According to TSN hockey analyst Pierre LeBrun, the board voted 31-0 to cancel the rest of the season.

The AHL paused its season March 12 — similar to the NHL — and because of concerns surrounding the pandemic.
