East Hants will host the Maritime North Junior C Hockey championship from April 27 to May 1 at the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The club was to host it last year, but COVID-19 cancelled the tournament, so the team was awarded the opportunity to host again this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
East Hants lost to the upstart South Shore Storm in the N.S. league final, so will go in as host while the Storm go in as the N.S. champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
