The Vancouver Giants regular season is done after the Western Hockey League announced Wednesday that it was cancelling the remaining 54 games on its regular season schedule.

“The WHL takes the safety of our players, officials, staff, fans, and everyone associated with the WHL very seriously,” said WHL Commissioner Ron Robison. “Given the ongoing public health developments regarding COVID-19, we deemed it necessary to cancel the remaining games on the 2019-20 WHL regular season schedule.

Robson said the goal remains to conduct the 2020 WHL Playoffs at a later date.

The Giants finish with a 32-24-4-2 record and 13th overall in league standings. They finished second in the B.C. Division with a .565 winning percentage.

“We will make every effort possible to conduct the 2020 WHL playoffs at a later date,” he said. “We thank WHL fans and partners for your patience and understanding during these challenging times.”
