# 2019–20 CCHL season

The 2019–20 CCHL season was the 59th season of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL). It was the first season in league history in which no team was awarded the league championship Bogart Cup due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the cancellation of the playoffs. The cancellation was announced on 12 March 2020, after the completion of the regular season, but before the completion of the post-season.

## Season highlights

The Carleton Place Canadians finished the regular season in first place. On 12 March 2020, the league cancelled all events indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
