The Louisiana IceGators have suspended play for next season due to planned renovations to the Cajundome.

The announcement was made by the ice hockey team Monday morning.

“Arena renovations will begin at the end of this month at the Cajundome and will run through the end of November,” IceGators general manager Louis Dumont said. “Available dates during the month of December are also limited. With the Southern Professional Hockey League’s 2016-2017 season beginning in October a feasible schedule is simply not available at this time.”

Dumont added, “Countless hours have been spent between myself, the owners, IceGators staff and Cajundome management looking at different scenarios on how we can make this season happen. At this time suspending operations for this season is the best route to take.”

“On behalf of the organization we would like to thank our Season Ticket Holders, Corporate Partners, fans and the community for all of your support.”
