ITHACA, N.Y. — ECAC Hockey announced Thursday afternoon that the remainder of the ECAC Hockey Championship is canceled. The decision has been made in accordance with recommendations from public health and
medical professionals in regard to the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease).

"The No. 1 priority of ECAC Hockey and its member institutions has always been and shall continue to be the health, safety and well-being of the student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans", ECAC Hockey commissioner Steve Hagwell said. "We are deeply disappointed our programs will not have the opportunity to compete for a league championship; however, ceasing championship competition is in the best interest of everyone".

Individuals who have already purchased tickets to the championship weekend in Lake Placid will be refunded in full, and should contact the ORDA box office.

ECAC Hockey teams that advance to the NCAA tournament will have the ability to compete in accordance with their institutional policies.
