The 2021 IIHF Women’s World Championships in Nova Scotia have been canceled, a source told ESPN on Wednesday.

The tournament was scheduled to take place from May 6-16, featuring strict COVID-19 protocols.

Team USA, which had won five straight worlds and eight of its past nine tournaments, was at its pre-tournament camp in Maine, and players were on the ice when news started trickling out, a source told ESPN.

The event was postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic. With this cancellation, there have been no top-level international women’s hockey competitions in the past year.

Meanwhile, the International Ice Hockey Federation staged a men’s under-20 tournament in a bubble in Edmonton in December, and a men’s under-18 tournament in Texas is scheduled for later this month, as well as men’s world championships in Latvia.
