2019-20 American Hockey League Awards

The 2019–20 AHL season was the 84th season of the American Hockey League.

The league suspended play on March 12, 2020, due to the Corona Virus pandemic.

The league was officially cancelled on May 11, 2020, with the regular season unable to be completed and the cancellation of the playoffs.

The AHL Board of governors opted to hand out the regular-season team and individual awards despite the 2019-20 season coming to an abrupt halt.
