Decorative totem poles featuring hockey-themed figures and logos for teams including the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs have been removed from shelves at nine Lawtons drugstore locations in Nova Scotia.

Adam Cornick said he's received a "phenomenal" response since posting the shot to his Facebook page Monday, with people excitedly sharing the nostalgic wintry shot and lauding its depiction of a quintessential East Coast experience.

Halifax is being courted all at once not just by the CFL but also by major soccer and lacrosse teams. There are doubts about whether the city of 400,000 people can sustain so many professional sports teams.

Maritime Football, the group behind the campaign to bring the CFL to Atlantic Canada's largest city, put forward an initial list of four possible names earlier this month: The Atlantic Admirals, Convoy, Storm and the Schooners.

The contest to name Halifax's proposed CFL team appears to be a "horse race" between Atlantic Schooners and Atlantic Storm, according to a businessman trying to land a franchise.

The group aiming to bring a Canadian Football League team to Halifax has announced details of a season ticket drive and a name-the-team contest.

The weeklong tournament in 2020 will run from late March into early April. Games will be played at Halifax's Scotiabank Centre and Truro's Rath Eastlink Community Centre.

Halifax council will consider today a new report on a proposed 24,000-seat stadium, the pivotal component of a bid to land a Canadian Football League team for the East Coast's largest city.

The chief of the Millbrook First Nation is not opposed to a stadium being built in Shannon Park, but he says it needs to fit in with the band’s own development plans.

Proposal is on the agenda for the Oct. 30 regional council meeting. Council is expected to direct the chief administrative officer to conduct an analysis of the business case.
