The new team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), the Newfoundland Regiment, has announced the appointment of Gordie Dwyer as head coach. This announcement marks the culmination of a lengthy process that resulted in the sale of the Acadie-Bathurst Titan’s assets to SPS Entertainment Limited Partnership and the relocation of the club.
This project marks the return of the QMJHL to Newfoundland with the establishment of the team under its new name and colors, in a state-of-the-art arena ideally suited to host exciting games. With this strategic development, the QMJHL is now represented in all Maritime provinces.
