A new hockey team’s new logo
The North Country’s on tap to play a pretty big role in the professional hockey feeder system.
Today, officials of the single A Federal Hockey League are announcing a second North Country team – the Akwesasne Warriors. This is their newly unveiled logo. Listen to the full interview I did with the owner/president of the team, Basem Awwad from Ottawa:
Earlier this winter, the league unveiled a team based in Alexandria Bay called the Thousand Islands Privateers.
The FHL is a brand new league, with games starting in November. We’ll see how it does. But with schools like St. Lawrence and Clarkson already feeding its best players into professional hockey, it’s pretty cool to think more players who spend time skating in the North Country may make it to the NHL.
