A Voice from the Eastern Door
Local hockey fans will have a chance to enjoy some world-class hockey at the World Junior A Challenge, an international hockey showcase that’s being hosted at the Cornwall Civic Complex from December 11th to 18th.
The eight-day tournament will feature some of the world’s top Junior A level hockey players competing for gold in their country’s colors. Two Canadian teams – Canada East and Canada West – will face off against USA, Sweden and Latvia in this heavily-scouted tournament.
“It’s going to be a great week of hockey and fans are in for a real treat,” said Lorne Taillon, chair of the local organizing committee. “It’s a great opportunity to see some storied hockey rivalries right here at home.”
