GMHL ADDS TEAM NUMBER 15 - MATTAWA JOINS THE FOLD FOR '11-'12!

The GMHL is pleased to announce the approval and confirmation of an ownership group from Mattawa as the league's 15th member.

To be known as the Mattawa Voyageurs, the club will begin play this fall under the direction of Team President Dan Pednaud, who worked with the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks this past season, and is looking forward to operating his own organization.

"The town is excited and behind us 100%", says Pednaud.  "It's truly amazing to see a community such as Mattawa welcome their new team and welcome the GMHL.  We are looking forward to working in conjunction with local individuals, businesses and community leaders to make the Voyageurs a big success!"

The club will wear retro version Ottawa 67's jerseys in black, red and white.

Renovations are set to begin shortly on the Rodden Arena and Community Centre in order to provide suitable facilities for a Jr. A club, and home games are slotted for Friday nights at 7:45pm.

Mr. Pedneaud has indicated the team's website will be up and running within a week or so and can be found at 'www.mattawavoyageursjrahockey.com'.

On behalf of the GMHL, we would like to extend a warm welcome to the community of Mattawa, and look forward to having your team with us as the latest member of the GMHL family.

Stay tuned for further expansion news as other membership applications are currently being considered and may be confirmed.
