Opposing mayors wager on PJHL semi-final series

By Lee Griffi

East Zorra-Tavistock Mayor Phil Schaefer and his counterpart from Lakeshore have agreed to a jersey bet based on the outcome of the Provincial Junior Hockey League’s (PJHL) semi-final series between the Braves and the Lakeshore Canadiens.

The Gazette reached out to each mayor to provide a prediction on the series.

“Hey, Mayor Schaefer, I’m taking Lakeshore in six. Looking forward to seeing how my Canadiens jersey looks at your council meeting,” said Lakeshore Mayor Tracey Bailey.

While Schaefer wouldn’t offer an exact prediction, he is confident the Braves will make it to the Schmaltz Cup final against either Fergus or Frankford.

“Throughout these playoffs, the Tavi boys have been up for any challenge. They will be up for this one, too, and they will prevail.”

The losing mayor will be required to wear the opposing team’s jersey at the first council meeting after the series.
