MACHA Cancels 2020-2021 Season due to COVID-19
MACHA Cancels 2020-2021 Season due to COVID-19
The Mid-American Collegiate Hockey Association has canceled the remainder of the 2020-2021 season.
The MACHA board met virtually on Sunday, December 6th, and voted unanimously to cancel the remainder of the season and allow the conference and its teams to focus on preparation toward the 2021-2022 season.
The board had originally suspended conference play prior to the Fall semester with hopes that conditions would allow a reduced Spring semester schedule to follow.
“Only a handful of our member teams had stated they would be able to play in the Spring,” stated MACHA President Larry Taylor. “The decision was not what we wanted to make, but with many known and unknown concerns, it really was the only decision to make. We look forward to the 2021-22 season. We’ve added several more ACHA programs to the conference. This will bring our total amount of teams to over 40.”
The Mid-American Collegiate Association is one of the oldest, largest, respected, and most competitive conferences in the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
For more information, please contact Board Secretary Michael Hernbrott at mhernbrott@gmail.com.
