Due to measures to contain infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, this year's ice hockey season ends abruptly.

Germany and Austria are ending the 2019/20 ice hockey season early

The German Ice Hockey League and the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League are now ending their seasons.
There is no champion this year.

As the German Ice Hockey League reports on the official website, there will be no playoffs in 2020. This means there will be no German champion in the 2019/2020 season.

Due to the bans in various federal states on holding major events with more than 1,000 spectators , the DEL is forced to end the current season early with immediate effect. This measure also corresponds to the official recommendations of Chancellor Angela Merkel and Health Minister Jens Spahn.

Gernot Tripcke, Managing Director of the DEL explains:

“We are incredibly sorry for all clubs, partners and especially fans across Germany that we have to make this decision.

However, given current developments, we have a duty to deal with the situation responsibly. We as DEL focus on the health of our fans, players and employees.”

Since there is no German champion this year due to the early termination, EHC Red Bull Munich, as the main round winner, represents the DEL in the Champions Hockey League (CHL 2020/21) together with the Adler Mannheim, the Straubing Tigers and the Eisbären Berlin.

The season is also over in Austria

There is no master in Austria either . The Austrian government only approves indoor events with a maximum of 100 spectators. Instead of having to play in front of empty stands, the league board and club officials decided to end the season early:
