After several meetings with the board along with Zoom-based sessions with members of the league, the Southern Rebels decided to cancel their 2020/2021 season on June 14.
“Based on the impact COVID-19 has had on individuals, businesses and the fact that there are more unknowns than knowns, we feel trying to field a hockey team for the 20/21 season would be irresponsible to our community, fans, sponsors, players and all individuals involved within our organization,” the statement from the Southern Rebels’ governance read.
“We have requested and been approved a one-year leave based on the impact of COVID -19,” their announcement concluded.
