The NCHC announced changes to its 2020-21 schedule on Friday.
The changes were necessary due to a positive COVID-19 test and quarantine requirements for the entire Colorado College team, forcing the Tigers to delay the start of their season.
The pod will still begin on Tuesday, Dec. 1 as scheduled at Omaha’s Baxter Arena. Colorado College’s first four games have been adjusted, with two games being moved to later in the pod and two being postponed to the second portion of the season.
