The 2020 AIHL season was going to be the 21st season of the Australian Ice Hockey League (AIHL). It was originally scheduled to run from 18 April 2020 until 23 August 2020, with the Goodall Cup finals following on 29 August and 30 August 2020.[1] However, on 12 March 2020 the league announced the postponement of the 2020 season to a to be determined date due to COVID-19.[2] Then on 29 July 2020, the AIHL commission's return to play committee announced the official cancellation of the 2020 AIHL season due to July COVID outbreaks on the east coast as well as continued border closures for WA and SA.[3] This marked the first time the Goodall Cup was not awarded since 1993, when the competition was cancelled as a result of financial problems.[4]
