Robert Guertin Centre (3,196) ~ Gatineau, QC

PREVIEW - After a good weekend against rival Acadie-Bathurst, your Halifax Mooseheads are hitting the road for three games in the province of Quebec. It will start in Gatineau against the Olympiques. This is sort of a homecoming for a couple of the Herd. Mac Weegar was born a 20 minute drive away across the bridge while Jesse Lussier was born 2 hours away in Patawa. Lussier said on twitter that it was nice to be back in Ottawa which must mean he is playing tonight after spending the last few games out with a concussion.


This is the first game between theese two teams since Halifax swept Gatineau in the second round of last year's playoffs. They meet again in February in Moose Country.
