KENT ST. JOHN’S JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE

IN WITH THE NEW, OUT WITH THE OLD.

On April 12, 2010 A meeting was held with two

Representatives Mr. Kevin Tobin, and Mr. Brian Butt.

of the CBR Renegades Junior Hockey Club.  They had

proposed the entry of a new team within Kent

St.John’s Junior Hockey League.  During this

Meeting the General Manager of the Bell Island

Junior Blues, Mr. David Brazil announced that

team Junior Blues after 20 years within the

St. John’s Junior Hockey League will be dissolved

after the May 12, 2010 Annual General Meeting and

a merger with the Assante Conception Bay Regional

Junior Renegades will be a reality.  He stated that

the Junior Blues entering the 2010-2011 season will

be losing 10 players due to the Overage ruling.

Mr. Brazil said, “replacing that many players in

one season would be very difficult, and after a

meeting with the CBR Junior Hockey Club Executive

the decision to merge was their only alternative.”

David Brazil will join the CBR Renegades Junior

Hockey Club as an advisor and offering them his 20 years

experience with Junior Hockey.

All players presently registered with the Bell Island

Junior Blues team will be offered positions with the

Junior Renegades.

Team Assante Junior Renegades will operate out of

the C.B.S. Stadium in Kelligrews. 

Kent St. John’s Junior Hockey League will surely miss

one of it’s long standing members.  Knowing David

Brazil for all those years, I can assure you that this

was one of the hardest decisions he has ever had to

make in his hockey career.  And yet again, as usual

he put his players needs ahead of his own personal needs.

David Brazil, a class act will be missed within the Junior Ranks.

Bernard R. Tobin, President.
