The Coast

I just received the following from Nicholas Shattler

On the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th of february there will be a traditional mens hockey tournament that will be held in St.Augustine on the Lower North Shore of Quebec. A tradition that is nearly sixty years old unites teams and villages from Blanc Sablon to Chevery. People traveling by snowmobile from as far as 200 km away to a small village with a population of 850 people. St.Augustine which is located in the center of the coast normally has a large turnout for their tournaments and this year will be no exception. There will be a company team coming from Toronto Ontario this year with some noticable names on their roster. The company Underground Services Ltd. has in their line-up players like John Druce ( NHL career 12 years, Washington Capitals), Gilbert Dionne (NHL career 3 years Montreal Canadiens), Rick Natress (NHL career 13 years), Craig Muni (NHL career14 years) Jim Thompson (NHL career 10 years) Tom Fergus (NHL career 8 years) and John Graham (NYI training camp). And to top it all of the coach for this team will be Craig Patrick previous manager of the Pittsburg Penguins who has won 2 stanley cups under his management. This surely will be an exciting weekend

I have created a page on the Lower North Shore Community web site to track the progress:
