GAMEDAY 15: vs Val-d'Or

IT'S GAMEDAY
HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS vs. VAL-D'OR FOREURS
Puck drops at 7:00pm
Metro Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

PREVEW - Pink jerseys. League leading scorer. Val-d'Or Foreurs. Those are the stories for tonight's game at the Halifax Metro Centre. Your Halifax Mooseheads will be hosting Anthony Mantha and his Foreurs when they have their pink in the rink event this evening. Mantha is leading the Quebec league in scoring as well as points. He has 16 goals and 12 assists for 28 points in just 10 games. Those are insane numbers for anybody but clearly he is trying to show the Detroit Red Wings that they should have kept him in the NHL.

The Mooseheads will be wearing pink jerseys when they take on Val-d'Or. The jerseys will then be raffled off to 20 lucky fans at the end of the game. There are also going to be other jerseys available to be won. The team announced on twitter that the ice will not be painted pink this season.


This is the first game between these two teams this season. They will meet again in two weeks in Val-d'Or.
