Eagles, Pirates relocate for upcoming NCHL season
A pair of local Senior AA hockey teams are on the move.
The Eckville Eagles made it official Monday morning by announcing they are relocating to Lacombe for the 2019-20 North Central Hockey League season.
The Eagles first applied to relocate when the NCHL held its annual general meeting earlier this year, but were denied. They applied again at the league’s fall meeting where they received approval to relocate from the NCHL and Hockey Alberta.
The team will continue as the “Eckville Eagles” until they can have a name change approved by the NCHL and Hockey Alberta.
