The gym will stay quiet this school year.
Ontario Colleges Athletic Association announced today that the winter varsity season is cancelled, due to safety concerns provincial restrictions around the COVID-19 pandemic.
This impacts the Loyalist Lancers, and 26 other member schools.
“The health of the entire OCAA membership and our participants remains our top priority, and we empathize, understand, and share the deep disappointment this especially causes for our winter sport student-athletes. After extensive contingency planning and collaborating with our members, the reality is that there are far too many obstacles to allow the OCAA to operate while providing a safe and quality varsity experience for our student-athletes,” said Nathan McFadden, OCAA President.
The association noted that it is up to individual institutions to decide if they want to create an opportunity for sports at their facilities, under direction from local health units and provincial guidelines.
