Cole Harbour is busy now hosting the 41st annual Joe Lamontagne March Break hockey tournament at Cole Harbour Place.
Many local NHL players have played in “The Joe” including Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Joe Dipenta, Mooseheads General Manager Cam Russell and many more.
The Cole Harbour Coaches Shootout is tomorrow night (Thursday March 14th) at 7:00pm in Scotia 1.
Below is my son Drake, he and his TASA Ducks Pee Wee AAA team took part in “The Joe” in 2006.
One game, he forgot his skates at home, that was a fast trip from Cole Harbour to Timberlea and back, great memories!
(Ian’s Son Drake age 11 playing for TASA above in 2006 at The Joe. Today, he is a Level 5 Referee in the AUS, MHL and other Hockey Nova Scotia high performance leagues.)
Hi to my pal Tournament Chair Jeff MacPhee and the volunteers making “The Joe” happen!
It’s so great to see the tourney back with the local restaurants and hotels busy with hockey families.
Good luck to all teams and officials, cherish those hockey memories that will be made.
