MAYORS ISSUE STATEMENTS FOLLOWING NEWS THAT THE LUMBERJACKS ARE RELOCATING
Today our communities learned that the Board of Governors of the Maritime Hockey League unanimously approved the relocation of the South Shore Junior A Lumberjacks hockey club to Bouctouche, New Brunswick.
“As a long-time supporter of the team and their billet family program, I am deeply disappointed at the decision by the management of the South Shore Lumberjacks to move the team. Their departure will
leave a void in our community and a sense of loss for the many volunteers, fans, and LCLC staff who have supported them over the years. It is truly disheartening to see them go, but I know the LCLC team are working hard to recruit high-level hockey back to the arena.”
— Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson, Municipality of the District of Lunenburg
“The Junior A Lumberjacks have been a vibrant part of our hockey community here in Bridgewater for 15 years. Along the way, our communities have been partners in supporting the team from its days in the former Bridgewater Memorial Arena, through to being the flagship team at the state-of-the-art Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre (LCLC). While we’re saddened to learn the news that the team is departing, we know that our communities here in Lunenburg County, our volunteers, and our staff at the LCLC have gone above and beyond in working together with multiple different owners to try to make the team a success during its time in Bridgewater.”
— Mayor David Mitchell, Town of Bridgewater
