The 2019–20 WHL season was the 54th season of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The regular season began on September 20, 2019, and was scheduled to end on March 22, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in North America the regular season was suspended on March 12 and cancelled six days later along with the playoffs. The post-season had been scheduled to begin on March 27, in which sixteen teams would have competed for the Ed Chynoweth Cup.

This was the first season for the Winnipeg Ice after being moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, from Cranbrook, British Columbia.

Suspension and cancellation of season

[edit]

On March 12, the WHL suspended the season until further notice due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] Six days later, on March 18, the WHL cancelled the remainder of the regular season, but stated its intention to hold playoffs at a later time. The final WHL standings are based on win percentage for all clubs.[2][3] The Portland Winterhawks were awarded the Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy as regular season champions.[4]

Cancellation of playoffs and Memorial Cup

[edit]

On March 23, the WHL announced that it had cancelled the playoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] The Canadian Hockey League cancelled the 2020 Memorial Cup, which had been scheduled to take place in Kelowna, British Columbia.[6]
