The American Hockey League, the primary developmental league for the NHL, announced on Monday that the remainder of the 2019-2020 season will be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision was made by the AHL board of governors and announced in a statement from AHL president and CEO David Andrews.
“After a lengthy review process, the American Hockey League has determined that the resumption and completion of the 2019-20 season is not feasible in light of current conditions.
The League’s operational focus has turned toward actively preparing for the 2020-21 season.
We are very grateful to the National Hockey League and its teams for their support and leadership in navigating through the challenges faced over the past two months.
