Mayor Gary McNamara commented on the approval: “We are excited to hear of the approval of a new Jr. C hockey franchise to be based in Tecumseh. The tradition of competitive sports in our community is long established and we welcome this new team to Tecumseh Arena. I’m confident the Town’s residents and businesses will embrace junior hockey in Tecumseh to continue supporting the development of elite athletes from the Essex-Windsor area.”
