Sylvan Lake Pirates hope to raid NCHL starting next season
More senior men’s hockey action could be on the horizon in central Alberta.
Curtis Klein, a third-year plumbing apprentice at Red Deer College, says he is confident the Sylvan Lake Pirates will take to the ice as part of the North Central ‘Senior AA’ Hockey League this September.
Klein will serve as the club’s president while Darren Thompson, formerly with the Houston Luckies in BC’s CIHL Senior AA circuit, will be the general manager.
The team is currently awaiting approval for non-profit status from the province, as well as approval from the NCHL at a meeting on May 5.
