The fact that there will not be a senior hockey league in Central Newfoundland this season has proven to be beneficial to one team in the west coast senior hockey league.
The Port Aux Basque Mariners have picked former Grand Falls Cataracts defenseman Niklas Lidstrom.
Lidstrom has won Herders with Grand Falls Windsor and also an Allan Cup.
The Mariners also chose rookie forward Nick Evans in the draft as well.
Lidstrom Heads West ...

Why do GFW need those two players? Both are now starring on their local teams, neither live in or are from Grand Falls Windsor so their only incentive would be to go back for money. Why can’t the Cats replace those two with local players? I’m sure they can find a couple guys in the Central Intermediate league to replace them. That would the sensible solution; grow your teams through local guys.

The only factor in play is that GFW will throw a ridiculous amount of money at a them. The WCSHL season opener has 2000 people in attendance to see guys like Simms and Hynes play, no they’re to lose those guys to a team that can’t even drawing 900 people to the Herder clinching game. Well on their way to buying another Herder from what I can see.

I agree the impact of taking these guys away from there local teams is far more significant that them playing with the cats/gander. Also for what reason other than money would these guys want to spend all their time away from home and family.
