You know what they say… beware the ides of March. Unfortunately, the storm is enough today that we’ve decided that all games are canceled tonight, March 15, 2026.

As you look out your window, you might question this decision. I get it. Right now, it’s just rain and it doesn’t look too bad. The issue is that rain will later change to freezing rain and a wintry mix. That changeover looks to happen as we start our games. Then, around 6 PM, the changeover to snow will happen and it will likely be quick. The snow rates will likely be very heavy, leading to quickly deteriorating roads and dangerous travel.

To make sure I have the best information possible, I have been consulting with multiple meteorologist friends over the last two days to better understand this storm and they are all in agreement that it makes sense to cancel these games based on the current model output.

Know that we don’t WANT to cancel our games. It makes more work for us and is a logistical nightmare. We’re working with the information and data that we have right now and that’s the best that we can do. Do we have 100% confidence in the forecast? No. And that’s what makes this so hard. That said, we have to make the decision early enough to cancel our ice time and referees for tonight. And for this storm, with what we know right now, the safest play is to sadly cancel all games.

I’m very sorry if you wanted to play tonight (I wanted to play, too!), but we have to put the safety of our league first. This was not an easy decision and we did not take it lightly.

On a positive note, we are trying to find a time to reschedule these games. More on that once we get through the storm, though. One thing at a time. 🏒

Should you have questions, feel free to reach out.

Best,
