Another university commitment for a former Halifax Moosehead has been announced. Goaltender Blade Mann-Dixon was one of 6 players to be added by the St. FX X-Men for the 2018-19 season.

Mann-Dixon, a native of Antigonish, NS, is going home to play university hockey. The 21-year-old joined the Herd before Christmas 2016 and was a stable force for the last year and a half of his junior career. Blade had a 23-9-0 record this past season with Halifax helping the Moose to a 4th place finish after the regular season. He also played for Saint John, Moncton and Charlottetown in the QMJHL.


Good luck to Blade in Antigonish. The X-Men will start their regular season against the Acadia Axemen on September 28.

Former Halifax Mooseheads captain Taylor Ford has announced the next journey in his hockey career. The 21-year-old will play the 2018-19 season with the McGill Redmen, Ford tweeted on Friday.

Taylor, a native of LaSalle, QC, was drafted by the Herd in 2013 but played his first season with the team during the 2014-15 season. Ford was named captain in his sophomore year, a position he held until the Moose traded him to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies during the Christmas trade period in 2017. In his 243 games played in the QMJHL, the young defenceman had 57 points, including 13 goals.


Good luck to Taylor in Montreal. The Redmen will start their regular season against Queen's University on October 5.
