With the creation of divisions to cut down on travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they will play in the Northern Division.[1] They finished the season 1–4, 0–0 in MEAC play, before suspending their season on February 9, 2021, due to an abundance of positive cases amongst their players amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
