Lacombe Generals announce title sponsor for 2019 Allan Cup
The 2019 Allan Cup tournament in Lacombe has landed a major sponsor.
Viking Projects Ltd. was announced Tuesday morning as the title sponsor for next year’s Senior AAA national hockey championship. The tournament will take place at the Gary Moe Auto Group Sportsplex in Lacombe in April.
“This gives the tournament a foundation,” Generals GM Jeff McInnis said. “We have all these ideas, but how are you going to do it without sponsorship? It can’t happen without it. We’d fall flat on our face if we didn’t have people who believed in us. So for Viking to say ‘Hey, we believe in that’ makes it all real.”
The [Bentley] Generals hosted the Allan Cup tournament at the Red Deer Arena in 2013. That experience, McInnis feels, gives them a leg up this time around.
