Our Halifax Mooseheads will have to play four games next week after the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League announced on Monday that they have rescheduled the postponed February 7 match against the Saint John Sea Dogs to next Wednesday.

The start time for the game was originally pushed back an hour to 8pm before the match was postponed entirely because Halifax could not make it past Moncton due to the weather. Saint John president Trevor Georgie had told media that he would be filing a complaint with the league as the club felt that the Mooseheads purposely missed the game on Feb 7.

Georgie stated he contacted league officials and Cam Russell to make arrangements for Halifax to travel on Thursday but the Herd decided not do that. The game would have been an almost sold out crowd and was to feature a performance by Nova Scotia musician Classified during the first intermission. Georgie was asking for the league to hand his team an automatic two points and have Russell give the Sea Dogs money for expenses that incurred. Halifax was supposed to have played 3 games in 3 days that weekend and the Saint John brass felt that they wanted to get out of that scenario which Mooseheads' general manager Cam Russell denied.

The rescheduled game is on February 26 at TD Station in Saint John with puck drop being 7:00pm.

Tickets that fans had purchased for the Feb. 7 game can be exchanged for any of the Sea Dogs remaining home games.
