WCHA member Alabama-Huntsville discontinues hockey

BOWLING GREEN — The Western Collegiate Hockey Association, Bowling Green State University’s league for one more season, will have one fewer member.

Alabama-Huntsville announced Friday it immediately will discontinue three sports due to the coronavirus pandemic, including men’s hockey.

The program was the only NCAA Division I hockey team in the South, and the Chargers played against the Falcons in the WCHA since 2013.

The Falcons were scheduled to play in Huntsville on Nov. 13 and 14.

UAH president Darren Dawson and director of athletic Cade Smith said in a statement financial troubles related to the virus have made cuts necessary.
