There is a meeting between the MacDonald and his group with the city of TR on Tuesday. And they will have Mark Weightman with them.
nice maybe a new official echl expansion team soon
Everything indicates that will not happen soon. The city has actively delayed making any decision since fall of last year. They also have had their time-wasting tactic vindicated because of the COVID pandemic and the doubts surrounding all ticket-driven entertainment. It is too late to acquire a team for the fall, that deadline passed months ago. It is also far too early to announce a team for the start of 2021-22 season. The mayor has openly and constantly expressed his desire to bring a QMJHL team to the city rather than accepting MacDonald's ECHL bid, despite QMJHL commissioner Gilles Courteau's constant rejections. T-R and MacDonald have had meetings every few weeks for ages. Don't expect an announcement to come out of them any time soon.
