BIG RAPIDS, Mich. | The University of Alabama in Huntsville and Ferris State University have announced Wednesday evening's rescheduled non-league matchup versus Alabama-Huntsville will not be played due to COVID-19 concerns.
Â
The two schools were slated to play on Tuesday night at the Ewigleben Ice Arena. However, daily testing on Tuesday of the Alabama-Huntsville men's hockey team produced a presumptive positive result. The follow up test was inconclusive, therefore not allowing the postponed contest to be played as part of the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's Return to Competition protocols.
Â
The non-conference contest will not be rescheduled.
