Golden Puck nominees announced

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League announced the nominees for their annual awards at the Golden Puck Awards. It looks like there isn't going to be an actual award night once again this year, the league will announce the winners over the next month. A few Halifax Mooseheads have been nominated for awards with Mathieu Cataford getting two nominations. I expect we'll see some Herd players on the all-star teams as well once they are announced.
