The Halifax Mooseheads announced it's first real round of cuts this morning which has reduced it's training camp roster down to 32 players. Five players had already left camp last weekend but it seemed to be voluntarily. 4 of the young men released this morning were draft picks of the Mooseheads while the other 6 were attending as free agent invites.
A lot of fans have been wondering when the team was going to makes it's first cuts as most teams have announced two or three rounds by now and were more than a week into camp. However, when you're the team that is hosting the Memorial Cup, it takes longer to make decisions I'm sure because you want to field the best team available.
Below is a list of who was cut:
F Nathan MacMillan Draft '18
D Steven Orzel FA invite
F Justin Trudel FA invite
D Felix Gascon Draft '17
G Joel Goguen FA invite
F Nicholas French FA invite
D William Smith Draft '16
F Ian Watt FA invite
D Zacharie Bordeleau Draft '18
G Ewan MacDonald FA invite
As I mentioned above this leaves 32 players in camp including 18 forwards, 11 defencemen and three goaltenders. Cam Russell said in a camp update yesterday that there will most likely be another round of cuts after this evening's game.
Don't forget the Mooseheads will face-off against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan tonight at 7pm in Wolfville.
