The remaining games of the 2020 WCHA postseason tournament have been canceled. Continuing the trend throughout sports, the WCHA announced the cancellation Thursday as a response to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.
In a statement, commissioner Bill Robertson said this was the best option to end the season immediately.
"In light of the current health issue gripping the nation, we are cancelling the remainder of the WCHA Postseason," Robertson said. "The health and safety of our student-athletes as well as our coaches, officials, fans, institutional and league staff is our top priority."
NCAA tournament games, including hockey, are already closed to the public.
