Rockland is back on the Junior A rink
with the Ottawa Jr. Senators. “We’ve had a lot of successes there and I’m looking to bring that here,” Sauvé said during a phone interview. Several of the Rangers veterans likeMike McArthur and Drew Shield will be making their way to Rockland as potential founda- tion stones for the newNats Jr. A team. Sauvé plans to hold a three-day prospects camp in mid-June at the Clarence-Rockland Arena, followed later in August by the pre-season training camp. Sauvé expects to see a goodmix of veteran players looking to trade in their Rangers jer- seys for the Nats logo along with a big crop of rookies and first-timers from the minor

GREGG CHAMBERLAIN gregg.chamberlain@eap.on.ca The bleachers around themain rink at the Clarence-Rockland Arena should see a lot of local fans settling down for junior A action this coming hockey season. The Rockland Nationals are back in the Junior A lineup in the Central Canadian Hockey League. Rockland was once a Junior A hockey town and the Nats were Centennial Cup winners in the CCHL.The present four-man partnership, which owns the newNationals Jr. A franchise, hope to see those glorious days return. Co-owners André Chaput, Jean- Robert “J.R.” Léger and other members of the new franchise spent their April 22 weekend manning an information booth at the arena as part of this year’s CR Expo commercial fair. “Rockland had a good team which won the Centennial Cup in 75-76,” recalled Cha- put, talking about the restoration of Junior A hockey to the town. “Over the last five years, people have been asking: Why don’t you bring a Junior A team here again?” Chaput, who is originally from Navan, spent almost two decades as a Rockland resident, and for the past 18 years he was a co-owner and part-time scout for the Gati- neau Olympiques hockey franchise. Last year he and several others heard that the Gloucester Rangers junior A franchisemight soon be available for purchase. Chaput, Le- ger, André Charlebois, and Robert Bourdeau got together and formed a partnership and bought the Rangers franchise with the intent of moving it to Rockland and resurrecting the Nationals Jr. A club. “I’ve been involved in hockey since I was three or four,” Chaput said, adding he used to play intermediate hockey for Wendover. “This (Nats Jr. A) is a personal satisfaction. We want to make sure that we have some local kids playing for us.” Which is now the task for Dan Sauvé and his coaching staff. The head coach/general manager for the new Nats Jr. A club has an extensive background in coaching at both the elite high school/academy level in Or- léans and also five years as assistant coach Présentant le trophée souvenir de la Coupe du Centenaire, Jean-Robert « J.R. » Léger (à gauche) et André Chaput, deux des quatre copropriétaires de la nouvelle franchise des Nationals de Rockland Junior A.
