Lakehead Thunderwolves Hockey is very happy to announce that all seven games of the TBayTel Varsity Cup hockey tournament will be video webcast live in partnership with News-cast.com of Fredericton, New Brunswick. The TBayTel Varsity Cup will feature the host Thunderwolves (OUA), the Calgary Dinos (Canada West), the St. FX X-Men (AUS), and the Lake Superior State Lakers of the CCHA (NCAA Div. I).
Lakehead Athletics Director Tom Warden said this initiative is a welcome addition to the tournament. I think this is awesome as it allows fans outside Thunder Bay and parents of the players an opportunity to watch the excellent hockey played at the TBayTel Varsity Cup.
