CALGARY, AB – The Western Hockey League announced on Thursday (April 6) the procedure for the determination of final standings for the 2020-21 WHL Regular Season.

As a result of Clubs playing an uneven number of games due to cancellations related to COVID-19, specifically in the B.C. Division, Central Division, and U.S. Division, points-per-game percentage will be used to determine the final 2020-21 Division Standings and overall WHL Standings.

Should there be a tie in the final standings in any Division or overall, the following WHL Regulation will be used to determine the order of final standing:

If it is still a tie, the edge will go to the Club having scored the most goals in regular schedule play.
