Former Moose Commit to Dalhousie

Two former Halifax Mooseheads players will continue to their hockey careers in the university ranks this season. Jesse Lussier and Philippe Gadoury have both committed to the Dalhousie Tigers in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Lussier; a Petawawa, ON native, played a season and a half with the Moose before getting traded to the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at the Christmas trade deadline. In 83 games with Halifax, the 21-year-old defenseman collected 31 points. Jesse had 8 points in 28 games with Chicoutimi.

“Lussier is a solid defenceman who will bring great presence to the team,” says Donnelly. “He has great mobility and will enhance our defence right away.”

Gadoury also played a season and a half with Halifax after being signed by the team in January 2014. The Greenfield Park, QC native was one of the Herd's overage players this past season. Phil was one of the top scorers on the team, scoring 28 goals and 57 points in 2014-15. The 21-year-old had 20 goals and 6 assists in his first season with the Moose.

“I am very excited to join an organization like the Tigers and start my commerce program at Dalhousie,” says Gadoury. “I am sure it will be a great experience.”

The two will join another Moose alumni on the team, Halifax native Brendan Duke.
