The Under-15 Mastodons, U-23 Mastodons; and East Hants Seniors men’s will all be donning the local colours at the Canadian championships next month across Canada.
It’s a rare feat for the Mastodons team to be sending three clubs to Canadian championships considering they represent a small community.
