The leaders of the Puribec League and Trois-Pistoles is in reflection”>La Pocatière club have withdrawn and those of the Bérubé GM of Trois-Pistoles are currently in reflection. These teams would not like the direction this circuit is taking, but the president of the Puribec League is keen to keep these two markets.
“Of course, in the short term, I don’t know what will happen, but in the medium and long term, these teams will play baseball in our league. We do not hide it, La Pocatière is the Mecca of baseball, La Pocatière is coming as Trois-Pistoles was 10-12 years ago, so somewhere it is certain that these teams we do not reject them out of hand, there is no league president who wants to eliminate teams from his league, let’s see which one!”, noted Denis Bérubé, president of this league.
These teams also deplore the increasing numbers of players coming from outside the league. The president, however, does not agree with this point of view, arguing that the local players are not left out.
“There are 90% of the players in this league, who are local players. We have a local league with a few guys from outside to improve the caliber of play and above all to ensure that all the teams are not short of players,” said the president of the Puribec circuit.
The coach of the Braves du Témiscouata during the last two seasons would also have left his position. Francis Landry would therefore not be back with the Braves next summer. He won the championship in 2020 before losing in the final in game seven in 2021.
