SHAWVILLE Jan. 17, 2018
After many years of not having a local provincial tournament for the Pontiac Lions Bantam and Midget teams, local hockey fans and players can expect an exciting weekend this year.
That’s because the Pontiac Provincial Tournament has expanded, and this year will run across two weekends, with this coming one featuring the older players. THE EQUITY caught up with the president and organizer of the Pontiac Provincial Tournament, Scott Lemay, to learn how it came about.
“Shawville was always well-known for the Pontiac Provincial Midget Tournament, that ran for several years, and it kind of died off a few years ago, which [meant] we lost all tournaments, whether it was the higher level … right down to the younger levels,” said Lemay.
