The AHL came to the unfortunate decision on Monday morning to cancel the rest of their hockey season.

It was a tough decision, but the American Hockey League has decided to cancel the rest of their season. The Board of Governors voted on the fate of the season of Friday. And AHL President David Andrews announced the decision early this morning.

“The AHL continues to place paramount importance on the health and safety of our players, officials, staff and fans and all of their families, and we all look forward to returning to our arenas in 2020-21.
