The five men who died that day had spent the previous night partying at a motel in Lennoxville, unaware that the invitation was a setup. Their own brothers in the organization had voted to kill them. The misnomer stuck because the last place the victims were seen alive gave the event its name, and the gap between that final evening of celebration and what awaited them in the morning captures the cold calculation that made this massacre unlike anything the Canadian underworld had seen before.
