3-time champ

Balmoral's Carson Marcoux, 16, is continued his domination on the provincial and east coast fencing scene at the provincial fencing championships in Fredericton last week.

Marcoux claimed titles in the senior, junior (under 20) and cadet (under 17) sabre category on the weekend of April 26-27. More than 60 fencers from 11 clubs across the Maritimes took part.

Marcoux will next see action when the final fencing tournament on the Atlantic Fencing League schedule takes place in Halifax the May 24 weekend.

Moncton Beavers now Dieppe Commandos

There is a new team in the Maritime Junior A Hockey League, sort of.

The Moncton Beavers have decided to move a few kms. from their home at the Tim Hortons 4 Ice Centre in the Hub City to the City of Dieppe. The team will keep its management and coaching staff.

The new name of the team, which will remain in the Roger Meek Division with the Restigouche Jr A Tigers, is the Dieppe Commandos.

No Abbies next year

The Roger Meek Division of the MJAHL will be down to just five teams this year after one of the teams has requested a year's leave of absence.

The Charlottetown Abbies, who compete for fans in the capital city with the PEI Rocket of the QMJHL, has asked the board of governors for a one-year leave of absence to look into financial options or to even possibly sell the team.

Left in the Meek are the Restigouche Tigers, the Dieppe Commandos, the Summerside Capitals, the Woodstock Slammers and the Miramichi Timberwolves.
