WMU hockey is set to play at home this weekend in the NCHC Quarterfinals against St. Cloud State, but it won’t have much of a home ice advantage.
That’s because the National Collegiate Hockey Conference announced Wednesday night that the quarterfinals of the 2019-20 conference tournament will be closed to the general public.
The statement from the conference comes after multiple sporting events and tournaments throughout the nation have been canceled or played without fans because of the novel coronavirus, including the NCAA Frozen Four banning fans from attending, which is set to take place at Little Caesars Arena in April.
