News & notes

Two independent wrestling shows scheduled for March 21 have been postponed due to COVID-19.

Immortal Wrestling was to present a card at Colonie Center, headlined by 80's icons the Rock & Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson). Xtreme Wrestling Alliance was to work the Watervliet Dome at the same time. No makeup dates have been set for either show.
========================================
Like the NHL, the East Coast Hockey League suspended play late last week, then decided they would not finish the season, leaving the Adirondack Thunder to make early golfing plans. Meanwhile, The Basketball League, after announcing a season-ending tournament in Kentucky, decided to cancel the rest of the season, so the Albany Patroons' season is abruptly over after 9 games.
=========================================
With the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament having been scrapped, Siena was declared the league champion, which would've given the Saints an automatic bid to the NCAA's had that tournament not also been cancelled.
==========================================
One would imagine with social distancing now mandated, Saratoga Casino & Raceway is able to continue with live cards, such as yesterday's matinee, with no fans in attendance. However, in this writer's opinion, it's a matter of time before the track is asked to shut down due to COVID-19. Stay tuned.
