The Grande Prairie Slo-Pitch League announced today that they are cancelling the remainder of the 2020 season.  

It’s reported this decision came after days of deliberation and was necessary considering “recent events.” 

“There are many factors coming into play that force us to make this decision. We made the effort to quickly restructure this season completely in proper compliance with AHS, to ensure all players safety during COVID, and provide as much playing time as possible for our teams. Unfortunately, many teams and players have created situations in which these new guidelines were not possible to enforce.” 

They have received complaints from some of their teams and players that some are not following the rules put in place.  

“Unfortunately, the players and teams that choose to ignore the rules that we are obligated to abide by put the players, teams, and reputation of the league at risk. If there were a way to fairly enforce the rules, there may have been a chance for this season. The sheer number of players who are not adhering to the rules makes this task entirely impossible.” 

They are very disappointed to have had to cancel the season.
