\"\"<\/a>The Rochester Institute of Technology men’s hockey team has announced multiple changes to its upcoming schedule.<\/p>\n

This evening’s game with visiting Mercyhurst as well as this Saturday’s road game opposite the Lakers have been postponed due to COVID-19 protocol within the Mercyhurst program.<\/p>\n

An announcement from Mercyhurst<\/a> says the postponements are due to COVID-19 protocol at RIT, but two sources at RIT confirmed to USCHO.com that the Tigers hockey team has zero cases currently.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Atlantic Hockey cleared up the confusion with a tweet Thursday night:<\/p>\n

\n

For transparency purposes, this series was postponed out of precaution as per our league COVID-19 protocols. Neither team has positive tests, but there was close contact by Mercyhurst with Air Force who had positive tests upon their return to Colorado. Better to be safe.<\/p>\n
