CJHL announces cancellation of 2019-20 season
March 13, 2020
The Canadian Junior Hockey League, in conjunction with its 10 member leagues and Hockey Canada, have officially cancelled the remainder of the 2019-20 season, due to the ongoing global COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic.
As a result, all hockey-related activities, including respective League Playoffs, the CJHL’s four regional championship events (Fred Page Cup; Dudley-Hewitt Cup; ANAVET Cup; Doyle Cup) and the Centennial Cup Canadian National Junior A Championship will not be held.
In further consultation with Hockey Canada, it was determined that the cancellation of the CJHL playoffs is an unavoidable outcome.
“We continue to align our direction, consistent with that of Hockey Canada, and support their overall direction completely. “ said CJHL President Brent Ladds.
“We extend our extreme gratitude, understanding and commend the due diligence put forth by the CJHL’s Executive Board, each of our 10 league commissioners/presidents, their staffs and respective clubs and Hockey Canada in their commitment to safeguard all those involved in our wonderful game,” finalized Ladds.

With the season now officially over, you can bet teams like Coquitlam, Penticton and even Trail have to be disappointed after the regular season they had this year. You have to think all three teams thought they had a shot at a league title or even the Centennial Cup.
What will they do with the Centennial Cup next season? The Portage Terriers were this years hosts, who obviously wont be hosting it. Will they allow Portage to host it next year? The only problem with that is, Penticton is the host city for next years Centennial Cup.
