EXPANSION CONTINUES - GMHL RETURNS TO TEMISCAMING

EXPANSION CONTINUES - GMHL RETURNS TO TEMISCAMING!

 

April 12, 2011

News has been circulating for some time, rumours have been bountiful, and Facebook information has been out there for a while now, but today, it becomes official - the GMHL is returning to the beautiful town of Temiscaming, Quebec!

Beginning play this season, the new ownership group, headed by Team President Vincent Labranche and Director of Operations, Dennis Lacourse, confirmed the club will be known as the Temiscaming Titans, wearing black, blue and white uniforms similar to the NHL's Tampa Bay Lightning.

The GMHL had originally expanded to Temiscaming with the addition of the Royals in our second year in 2007-2008, when the league added 6 new teams, almost doubling in size from our inauguaral season.

The Royals left the GMHL after only one season, opting to move to the Northern Ontario Hockey League, where they've been ever since.  A number of problems have plagued the club since then, eventually resulting in town council choosing to reward an ice contract to the new ownership group led by Mr. Labranche, who were looking to form a new team in the GMHL.

The club has already set up a Facebook page and arranged their first tryout camp this weekend, but at the town's request, the league had to wait for the ice contract to be confirmed before making an official announcement.

The logo and website will be announced shortly, and the image included in this article is just one possibility.

The GMHL is thrilled to be back in Temiscaming and wish Mr. Labranche and Mr. Lacourse all the best with the new club.
