The CIBC Wood Gundy Lumberjacks will officially take the ice at the Lunenburg County Lifestyle Centre in the fall. LCLC General Manager Kevin Benjamin confirmed the news during the team's player awards banquet at the Michelin Social Club Wednesday night. Benjamin says the two sides reached a five-year agreement to play at the new Clearwater Seafood Arena. He says its a fair deal for both sides.
Meanwhile, Owner Ken Petrie says five years is the right amount of time.
The two sides were back and forth at the negotiation table for months trying to come to an agreement. Petrie says he's excited about the upcoming season and looks forward to playing in the new facility.
