Hockey Alberta announces cancellation of senior, junior seasons

Feb 11, 2021 | 8:41 AM

Hockey Alberta and its Senior and Junior leagues have unanimously decided to conclude all regular league play for the remainder of the 2020-21 season.

The decision was made during a meeting held Feb. 8.

While league play is concluded for this season, Hockey Alberta says the opportunity for teams to return to on-ice activity at some point remains a possibility as step three of the province’s “A Path Forward” guidelines outlines the potential return of ‘adult team sports’ which could potentially occur in mid to late March.

Hockey Alberta says it will continue to work closely with government representatives to explore all options that could allow players to return to on-ice activity.

This week’s decision applies to the following leagues:

Senior Leagues

  • North Peace Hockey League
  • North Central Hockey League
  • Sask-Alta Hockey League
  • East Central Senior Hockey League
  • Ranchland Hockey League

Junior Leagues

  • North West Junior Hockey League
  • North Eastern Alberta Junior B Hockey League
  • Capital Junior Hockey League
  • Heritage Junior Hockey League
  • Hockey Calgary Junior B and C
  • Noralta Junior Hockey League
  • Alberta Junior Female Hockey League

Wednesday’s announcement does not apply to the Alberta Junior Hockey League (Jr. A).
