Hockey East also announced today that previously released composite schedules for both the men's and women's leagues will be set aside and the remainder of the 2020-21 season will continue to be scheduled on a weekly basis. The decision decision is aimed at allowing the maximum amount of games to be scheduled for each member school, the Hockey East Association. The move comes with a stated goal to create as much variety and parity in the schedule as possible while adhering to all required health and safety protocols with a maximum of seven weeks remaining in the regular season.
