vs CHI




It's a battle of the young teams tonight as your Halifax Mooseheads take on the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at home. After a three game road trip, your Herd are back home for two weekend games. The two teams have the lowest average age in the QMJHL this season and are pretty evenly matched going into the matchup. Tonight also happens to be the 12th annual DND Appreciation Night at the Scotiabank Centre. Halifax will be wearing special jerseys for the 8th year in a row which will be raffled off to fans at the game, with 3 being auctioned off online at a later date. This year, the Mooseheads will be playing homage to the Royal Canadian Navy and all money donated from the raffle tickets will be given to the Camp Hill Veterans Memorial Garden in Halifax. Both teams will be looking to get back in the win column and spread themselves from the bottom of the standings, Chicoutimi might be a bit more hungry as they've lost 3 in a row. Come down to support the troops Moose Country and watch what should be an exciting game with young talent and Friday night drama.
