The New England Women’s Hockey Alliance announced Wednesday the league’s intent to return to play, starting in January 2021.<\/p>\n

“The New England Women’s Hockey Alliance is moving forward with plans to play a condensed conference schedule starting in January,” said NEWHA commissioner Bob DeGregorio in a statement. “Administrative representatives from each member institution have met on a weekly basis over the prior weeks and months to discuss schedules, postseason formats, and most importantly, the health and safety of NEWHA student-athletes, coaches, officials and the campus communities at large.<\/p>\n

“Outside of a regular season schedule carefully crafted by the NEWHA office, member institutions will be able to schedule non-league contests should they elect to do so. Furthermore, all NEWHA members will implement a rigorous testing program that includes student-athletes, officials, coaches and support staff members. All return to play guidelines are rooted in local, state and NCAA health and safety protocols.”<\/p>\n

Detailed information regarding the NEWHA return to play plans is forthcoming. A complete league schedule will be released on an institution-by-institution basis.<\/p>\n

The NEWHA is comprised of two NCAA Division I schools and four NCAA Division II schools. Members of the league include Franklin Pierce, Long Island, Post, Sacred Heart, Saint Anselm, and Saint Michael’s.<\/p>\n

Post, however, has canceled winter sports and is not playing this season.<\/p>\n

Stonehill will add women’s hockey as its 23rd varsity athletic program and has accepted an invitation to compete in the NEWHA starting with the 2022-23 academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
