Cincinnati Cyclones suspend their 2020-21 season due to COVID concerns

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Cyclones have joined the ECHL’s COVID-19 Voluntary Suspension policy and will not play in the 2020-2021 season.

The team cited Ohio’s strict social distancing guidelines including the limit of only 300 people allowed into the Heritage Bank Center.

“After much consideration and discussion, we have decided it is in the best interest of our players, fans, and the organization as a whole to opt out of the 2020-2021 ECHL season,” said Cyclones Governor Ray Harris. “This decision was not taken lightly but we feel it is the proper resolution for all involved. Our organization will continue to be active in our community as we look to contribute via new and unique outlets. We will also continue our work as part of the Cincinnati Cyclones Foundation and strengthen youth hockey in the Cincinnati area.”
