The 2026-27 hockey season is already taking shape. TSMHA tryouts begin this week for U10A, U11A, U12A, and U15A NOHA (mixed) teams, with OWHA (girls) Prep Skates starting on the weekend. A reminder: you must be registered to try out or participate in Prep Skates — no walk-ins. Registration is $40 at tsmha.ca/Tryouts and closes April 30. All ice times are in New Liskeard unless otherwise noted. Check the TSMHA website for your age group's schedule.

The New Liskeard Lions made franchise history this weekend at the U18A OHF Championships, advancing to the semifinals for the first time ever.

Playing on home ice at The Don Shepherdson Memorial Arena, the Lions faced the Elmira Jr Sugar Kings in Sunday morning's semi and fell 8–1 (0-1-0 vs. 2-2-4) against a team that proved to be the class of the tournament.

Elmira went on to capture the U18A OHF Championship that afternoon, beating the South Oxford Storm 3–2 in overtime in the final. It was a tough draw for the Lions, but the bigger story is the milestone — making the provincial semis is something no Lions U18 team has done before. Between hosting the entire tournament and putting a team in the final four, Temiskaming Shores had plenty to be proud of this weekend.

Congratulations to all the players, coaches, and volunteers who made it happen.

You’re going to start seeing this guy around.

We call him the Tri Town Guide.

We’re going to be launching a simple game on Facebook called Find the Guide. On certain days we’ll post a photo somewhere around the Tri Town. The Guide will be in that photo. Your job will be to figure out where it is.

You’ll drop your guess in the comment, and every correct answer will count as an entry. We’ll draw a winner each week and feature them in the newsletter. Local businesses will be part of it too, so prizes will come from right here in the community.

It’s meant to be simple. Something quick, something fun, something that makes you look at the tri town area a little differently.

We’re not launching it just yet. We want to build this up properly first. But it’s coming soon.

So for now, just keep an eye out.

Because once the Guide starts showing up, you’ll know it’s time to play.
