The WCHA women’s conference will start the 2020-21 schedule the weekend of Nov. 20-22.<\/p>\n

WCHA schools will play eight league games from November 20 to December 19 before breaking for the holidays. League play will resume as early as Jan. 1. The post-holiday schedule will be released in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to dropping the puck on our season later this month,\u201d WCHA commissioner Jennifer Flowers said in a statement. \u201cOne of our primary goals throughout our return to competition discussions has been to provide our student-athletes the opportunity to compete safely in a meaningful season. We are pleased to have determined a path that allows that to happen. We continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape and remain committed to playing as complete a schedule as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

WCHA officials and member institution administrators are finalizing return to competition protocols that will be implemented upon approval. The protocols, along with state, local and university safety guidelines, will be in force at all WCHA arenas throughout the 2020-21 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to commend our administrators, coaches and league staff for the work they\u2019ve put in to building our return to competition plan,\u201d Flowers said. \u201cWe\u2019ve engaged in several months of in-depth discussions as we worked through the challenges presented by the pandemic to craft a plan that addresses the health and safety of all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
