BC Intercollegiate Hockey League President Chris Munshaw on Thursday released the following statement regarding the 2019-20 BCIHL playoffs:

"The BCIHL has been monitoring the evolving situation surrounding COVID-19 and discussing the best course of action with our school administrators, coaches and with BC Hockey. The decision was made today to postpone our post-season effective immediately and to re-evaluate the situation in the coming weeks.

"This decision was made in the best interest of our student-athletes, staff, and the general public at this time.

"We will continue to monitor the situation going forward, and will reschedule the postponed games if and when it is safe to do so."
