EIHL cancels all matches for rest of season

13 Mar 2020Robert Newbolt»

Bosses at the ten Elite League clubs have cancelled all matches with immediate effect.

League chiefs had hoped to complete the regular season and in the wake of last evening’s government guidelines, based on the up-to-the-minute scientific advice to allow sporting fixtures to continue, that seemed possible.

League bosses staged an emergency conference call after the Government’s latest announcement on the coronavirus outbreak. Impending restrictions on crowd sizes in Scotland were an issue that was being further considered overnight.

However,as two clubs reported players in self isolation it was fealt that the best course of action was to complete the season.

At the moment they are simply concentrating on getting players home safely. There will be further announcements next week.

This leaves only the KHL as the league which is still playing.
