What the Sea Dogs are for Harbour Station, the Major Midget Vitos will be for the qplex.
The local major midget triple A hockey club is moving to the new arena in Quispamsis and most of their home games will be Friday nights at 8pm.
Vito’s coach Ken Dobson tells CHSJ News their players are high school students from Sussex to St. Stephen.
He says it’s the top tier of minor hockey for 15, 16 and 17 year olds and a prepatory league for junior and major junior.
Dobson says the advantage of being at the qplex is being able to get three practices in a week in a facility with year round ice and a showcase game on Friday nights.
He says tryouts and training camp start on September 1st and their first game is coming up at September 21 against Miramichi.
Vito’s alumni include NHL defenceman Randy Jones.
