KIJHL postpones season until Feb. 5

The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League has postponed all regular season games scheduled until Feb. 5.

The decision was made after the extension of the current Provincial Health Order limiting sports activities and travel until Feb. 5.

The league remains hopeful of resuming regular season play at that time and will continue with preparations to award the Teck Cup to the league champion in the spring.

“I would like to acknowledge the patience and resiliency of our athletes, team staff, billet families, volunteers, sponsors and fans as we continue to navigate a challenging season,” said KIJHL Commissioner Jeff Dubois. “Our goal is to return to competitive play as soon as the provincial guidelines allow us to do so. In the meantime, our member clubs are working hard to maximize development opportunities for their players in a structured team environment while following all relevant health and safety protocols.”
