Top Herd Vote
With the QMJHL season currently on hold and the possibility of games returning for our Halifax Mooseheads, I thought I would post this now. I have normally determined each game’s top herd by their overall play not just how many points they had that game which is way you have seen some defence and goaltenders (even when we loose) on the list. Look at the Top Herd tab above to see who was named over the season.

It was announced as well that players will remain in the area with their billet families. No official word from the Halifax Mooseheads but considering there is no hockey activity for the foreseeable future, practices and team gatherings I am sure are suspended too.

Getson Scores OT Winner For SMU
Keith Getson has been great for his Saint Mary's Huskies during the 2020 AUS playoffs and it continued last night when he scored the game winner in triple overtime to send SMU to the University Cup.
The former Halifax Mooseheads forward joined the Huskies in September to continue his hockey career and finished the regular season with fourteen goals and 27 points in 30 games played. Getson's OT goal was his second game winner of the playoffs after scoring in double overtime against the UPEI Panthers in Game 2 of the opening round.
On Wednesday, he scored at the 5:44 mark of the second period to tie the game at 1 before the Moncton Aigles Bleus scored twice more in the frame to take a 3-1 lead into the intermission. Saint Mary's picked up two goals in the third to send it to extra time. With a power play early in the third overtime frame, Getson scored at the 2:20 mark giving the Huskies a 2-0 series win in the consolation round. The 21 year old has four goals and 5 assists in 8 playoff games now and is a plus-4. Eric Brassard, who also played for the Mooseheads previously, picked up the victory with 42 saves.
The Acadia Axemen are hosting the 2020 University Cup and because of that the AUS gets to have three teams in the national championship. Acadia and the UNB Reds are battling it out for Atlantic bragging rights and their best of 3 series is tied 1-1 after a dominating performance by the Reds last night who won 6-0.
