SOO INDIANS PRESS RELEASE
Sports - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Updated @ 9:24:30 AM
The Soo Indians will be presented with the Carmen
Provenzano Memorial Cup prior to their Northern Ontario Jr. Hockey League game with the crossriver Soo
Thunderbirds
this Saturday at 7 p.m. at Pullar Stadium.
Having already won five of their seven games from the Thunderbirds prior
to Saturday's regular-season finale between the two teams, the Indians have thus clinched
the Provenzano Cup for this
season.
The Provenzano Cup was initiated prior to the start of the '06-07 season in memory of Carmen Provenzano, a
former Sault, Ont. politician who passed away in July,
2006, from a heart attack.
The first Provenzano Cup
regular-season series was between the Soo Thunderbirds and the Blind River Beavers and was won by the T-Birds. The format
was
changed at the start of this season to make the Provenzano Cup a regular-season series between the Twin Sault
teams.
Prior to the start of Saturday's game at the Pullar, the Provenzano Cup will be presented to Indians' captain
Isaac Viau by Mary Desimone Russon, niece of the late former politician.
Admission to Saturday's game at the
Pullar is $5.
