2020-21 WOAA Senior season

This was to be the 2020-21 WOAA Senior AA Hockey League season. This was to be the league's 31st season at the senior level and the 10th season under this name. The league was previously known as the WOAA Senior Hockey League from 1990 to 2010.
==Season Cancelled==
The league held its Annual General Meeting on September 24th andthe following statement was issued after the meeting"
“The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has created a unique situation that is still
evolving; the W.O.A.A continues to work with its’ Senior Hockey Committee and
participating Senior Hockey teams to prepare for the return to regular competition.
However, the W.O.A.A. Senior Hockey membership held their Annual Meeting
last evening, September 24,2020 and at that time a motion was moved, seconded and
carried “that collectively as members of the W.O.A.A. Senior Hockey League a
decision was made that there would be NO playing season for 2020-2021 hockey
season. It will be the responsibility of each member team to remit their 2020-202I
insurance premium and the W.O.A.A. registration fee.”
The W.O.A.A. Senior Hockey records show that the program began in 1948-49
and has run continuously for seventy-two (72) hockey seasons. We are hopeful that
2021-2022 will see the return of regular competition in our Senior Hockey League.
At this time, the W.O.A.A. would like to take this opportunity to thank all our
Senior Hockey participants, team officials, game officials, executives, league sponsors,
fans and valued volunteers for their past and present support.” – Dave Black, Acting Chairman W.O.A.A.
