This was to be the 2020-21 Ligue de Hockey Cote-Sud season. This was to be the league's ninth season.
Based on an August 30th release, the league was planning a schedule beginning on October 30th with either 14 or 16 games depending on the number of teams involved with the season ending February 7th. The league is unable to play until phase 6 of the province's re-opening plan is in effect. The province is in phase 5 as of late September. Social distancing requirements will likely mean a maximum of 250 spectators at league games for the season.[1] All teams appear to be returning but the La Pocatiere Seigneurs and St-Pascal Imperial were holding off on confirming if they will be able to play. A date of September 11th was given as a cut off date for their decisions.
On October 9th the league announced that St-Pascal had opted out for the season. League play was planned to start on January 8th and the league would be divided into two groups with Montmagny, La Pocatière, Saint-Jean-Port-Joli et Trois-Pistoles making up one group and Saint-Damien, Saint-Charles, Lotbinière, Sainte-Marie et Saint-Joseph making up the other group with regular season and all but the league final being played within the individual groups.[2]
On December 1st the league announced it was cancelling the 2020-21 playing season.[3]
