The New York State High School Athletic Association has indefinitely postponed its winter championships.

This will affect the regional and state tournaments for basketball, ice hockey and bowling.

NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas said, "It was my goal to complete the winter championships on schedule. It has become increasingly more difficult to host these championship events with the number of challenges that have been presented. I also have concerns as the Executive Director of NYSPHSAA and a parent, that students will be participating in an event under circumstances that are not conducive to a quality and beneficial participation experience."
