The 2020-21 season for Holy Cross has ended, with the Crusaders finishing 4-12-0 overall and 3-9-0 in Atlantic Hockey games (photo: Holy Cross Athletics).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Tier 1 group, the Holy Cross men’s hockey program will pause all team activities, including participation in the 2021 Atlantic Hockey tournament.<\/p>\n

The Crusaders were scheduled to play at Sacred Heart in a first-round game next Tuesday, March 9, but instead will not return to action this season.<\/p>\n

Sacred Heart now gets a bye and advances to the quarterfinal round of the tournament. Opponent, date, and time will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

“We are very disappointed that our season has come to an end in this way,” Holy Cross coach David Berard said in a statement. “I feel terrible for our players, especially our seniors, who deserved a better ending to their careers. I am extremely proud of and grateful for our players and staff for the commitment and sacrifices they made in order to have a season. They earned my deepest respect and admiration for how they adapted and persevered through these unusual times.<\/p>\n

“Best of luck to all the remaining teams in Atlantic Hockey, and around college hockey, as the regular season ends and playoffs begin. I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and finishes their seasons on the ice.”<\/p>\n

The Tier 1 designation consists of individuals for whom physical distancing and\/or face coverings are not possible or effective during athletic training or competition, including student-athletes, coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists, medical staff, equipment staff and officials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
