2019-2020 CLL Season

Summary
BRAMPTON TAKES HOME FIRST CAZAH CUP IN THE BUBBLE

It was a season filled with uncertainty for both the NHL and CLL leagues. While both leagues were delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, both the CLL and NHL playoffs resumed in the late summer of 2020 to give the league a fantastic finish.

The Barnburners were a league leader all season, finishing only points away from winning the Wagon Memorial Trophy. They were led by stud centers Mika Zibanejad and Bo Horvat, elite winger and first-round pick Nikita Kucherov, and the league leading Boston goaltending duo in Tukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak. The franchise also made some key acquisitions early on in the season, investing in Roman Josi and Patrick Kane to add fire power to an already impressive lineup.

After knocking out Quebec easily in the first-round, the league took on a Rotisserie-Hybrid format once the NHL returned to play. Brampton competed with Weedon, Wyoming, and Red Deer in what became a very intense show down among four great teams. The final four results can be found below.

Brampton, led by GM Dylan Kerr and AGM Jonathan Levy, become the 6th CLL franchise to lift the highly coveted Cazah Cup.
