CAPE BRETON EAGLES VS HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS

Puck drops at 4pm

TV: Webcast | Radio: News 95.7 | Live: @HFXMooseheads

Centre 200 (5,000) ~ Sydney, NS

It's game two of the annual Hurley Cup home and home series between the two Nova Scotian teams. Our Halifax Mooseheads head to Sydney to take on the Cape Breton Eagles this evening and will be hoping to rebound from a dismal game last night. Cape Breton is currently holding the last playoff spot but have been dominant versus the Mooseheads this season. Xavier Bouchard led the Eagles with a goal and 3 assists on Saturday evening as they defeated Halifax 7-1. It will be interesting to see who the Herd start in goal tonight, as despite letting in seven goals, Alex Gravel did play quite well and made it so the score was not higher. Gravel made 34 saves last night before being pulled. Halifax will need to be much better defensively after allowing almost 50 shots against. The 4th Hurley Cup will be awarded after the match, the Moose have won the last two while Cape Breton claimed the inaugural trophy.

Overall records
Mooseheads: 15-16-2-1 = 33pts (5th in Maritimes division, 13th overall)
Eagles: 18-13-2-1 = 39pts (3rd in Maritimes division, 8th overall)

Champs Again

Back to back. How does that sound Moose Country? Your Halifax Mooseheads had a much better game this afternoon on home ice and cruised to a big 7-1 victory over their provincial rivals to claim the club's second Hurley Cup in as many years. Captain Antoine Morand accepted the trophy on behalf of his teammates after the third period finished and also played a part in getting the win. The 19 year old scored in the first period to give Halifax a 3-0 lead. Draft eligible forward Raphael Lavoie had a good game today, starting the scoring off with two goals in the first 4 minutes and also picking up an assist. After 20 minutes, the home team were up 4-0 and in complete control. It seemed like in the middle frame the Herd sat back and as a result gave up the lone goal in the 2nd period. Leon Gawanke broke Alex Gravel's shutout with 1:25 left in the second to get the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles on the board. It would be the only puck that would find the back of the net for the away team. Samuel Asselin scored his team leading 28th marker as the Mooseheads put in three more during the third period. Halifax won both games during the post-Christmas break series to claim the Hurley Cup last season and retained the title this year. What a way to end 2018, Happy New Year Halifax! Always remember Go Moose Go ☺️.

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

It's the last game of 2018. Wow, this year has gone by so fast and your Halifax Mooseheads will look to end it on a high note. The final match of the year will be a big one as the winner may be able to have bragging rights for the next year with today's tilt being the second game of the Hurley Cup. It's also the last time that Moose Country will see the Herd's provincial rivals; the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles this season as the final two games in their head-to-head will be played in Sydney. The annual Battle of Nova Scotia series has taken an extra bit of fun with the addition of the Hurley Cup trophy. A big story was the return of Samuel Dube who had played just two games before doctors found a blood clot in his leg which forced the rookie to sit out 30+ games. It should be a fun game to end the year, hopefully we won't see another match with extra time.

This is the seventh game between these two teams. Halifax is 4-1-0-1 against the Screaming Eagles while Cape Breton has a 2-3-0-1 record versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup was December 30, where Halifax won 3-2 in a shootout. Samuel Asselin scored twice in regulation while Benoit-Olivier Groulx scored the shootout winner.

Overall Records
Eagles: 22-12-1-2 = 47pts (7th overall, 4th in Maritimes division)
Mooseheads: 25-8-1-1 = 52pts (3rd overall, 1st in Maritimes division)

Leading Scorers

Blue Moose Pick Up Win At Home

The Halifax Mooseheads wore blue on Saturday but saw lots of red during the afternoon as the home team collected a 5-2 victory over the visiting Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. Halifax got off to a slow start but Alexis Gravel stood fairly strong in the first period, letting in just one goal on 13 shots in the opening 20. The Mooseheads played much better in the middle frame and scored three goals in less than six minutes to lead the game 3-1 after 40 minutes. Newly acquired Jake Ryczek picked up his first Q career point this afternoon after passing the puck to Connor Moynihan who scored his 12th goal of the season. In the third period Cape Breton had the upper hand for most of the frame and were able to close the gap to a goal on Leon Gawanke's 3rd of the year but the tides turned towards the Herd once again in the final 5 minutes. Rookie Xavier Parent recorded his first career two goal game, including the insurance marker at the 15:10 point of the final frame. It was a physical game, however the referees decided to mostly let the boys play the game out and only handed out 5 penalties the whole match.

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

Battle of Nova Scotia. The games between these two provincial rivals are always entertaining and the home and home series on New Year's Eve weekend have a special place in each of the players hearts. Beginning with last season, the year end matches received a boost of significance as the teams now play for the Hurley Cup. Halifax will be looking to get the trophy to Moose Country after Cape Breton won both games in 2016 to claim the first Hurley Cup. This also happens to be the last home game of 2017 for your Mooseheads so come out and support the boys as they sport blue jerseys to raise money for a good cause. The Herd will try to stay on top of the division so there's a little extra pressure on this afternoon's home team as they take on the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles at 2pm. Cape Breton is looking to right the ship a little bit as they are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games and are now 5th in the Maritimes division. Both teams will be without their leading scorer this weekend as Filip Zadina (Halifax) and Drake Batherson (Cape Breton) are trying to help their respective countries in the World Juniors.

This is the seventh game this season between these two teams. Halifax is 5-1-0-0 against the Screaming Eagles while Cape Breton has a 1-4-0-1 record versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup was just before the Christmas break on December 16 as Xavier Parent led the home Herd team to a 4-2 win with a goal and an assist while Alexis Gravel made 27 saves.

OVERALL RECORDS
Eagles: 16-16-2-1 = 35 points (5th in Maritimes division, 13th overall)
Mooseheads: 21-10-4-1 = 47 points (1st in Maritimes division, 3rd overall)

LEADING SCORERS
HFX: Filip Zadina 46pts (24G & 22A), Maxime Fortier 41pts (18G & 23A), Otto Somppi 36pts (11G & 25A)

Herd Word

Welcome to the new year. As it's been the holidays, I've been busy so instead of writing individual stories about news that has happened the last few days, I thought I would do a Herd Word.

FUCALE
Former Halifax Mooseheads goaltender Zach Fucale led Team Canada to a championship once again. Fucale was playing in the Spengler Cup last week and went into the tournament as a backup. However after Drew MacIntyre struggled in the first game, the 21 year old started the second preliminary game and had a 33 save performance as the Canadians won 4-3 over host HC Davos. He was than the starter for the rest of the tournament. The Rosemere, QC native performed quite well the rest of the week to help Hockey Canada back to the gold medal game. Team Canada played HC Lugano for the Spengler Cup and Zach stopped 40 shots en route to a 5-2 victory.

HISCHIER
Switzerland has improved on their 9th place finish from last year's World Junior championship and in part it's because of the great tournament Mooseheads rookie Nico Hischier had over the past week. Hischier, who turns 18 tomorrow, led the Swiss in scoring during the tourney with 4 goals and 7 points. One of his goals was an overtime winner last Tuesday against the Czech Republic. He scored again on Friday in regulation versus Denmark which also ended in extra time. The 4 points Team Switzerland picked up gave them a quarter-final berth where they would play the United States on Monday. The rookie had two really great goals but his performance wasn't enough to get his team to the semis because of a great save by the American goaltender in the last 5 minutes of the game which prevented Nico scoring a hat trick. Hischier was named player of the game as well as one of Switzerland's 3 best players of the tournament.

RESOP
According to the Miramichi Timberwolves, they have acquired the MHL rights of Herd goaltender Kevin Resop from the St. Stephen's Aces. The Mooseheads have not said anything about a trade or demotion of Resop but it's assumed that he will not be back with Halifax as the Moose traded for goalie Blade Mann-Dixon. Will be interesting to see what happens now for Kevin. Wherever he ends up, Moose Country would like to say good luck!

SATURDAY
As you may know, the game this coming Saturday versus the Saint John Sea Dogs is going to be broadcasted on Sportsnet. Because the match up is on national television, the puck drop for it has been changed to 4:00pm. So come out and support the boys against one of the best teams in the QMJHL this weekend. It should be an exciting game.

CHAINEY
It was announced on Monday that defenseman Jocktan Chainey has been suspended for 4 games after a hit that occurred during the December 30th game in Cape Breton. He will be eligible to return on Sunday afternoon when the Mooseheads visit Saint John. For video and full explanation, click here.

HURLEY CUP
Talking about the Screaming Eagles, they swept your Mooseheads in the home and home series late last week which gave them the first ever Hurley Cup. For a number of years now, the two provincial rivals have had back to back games against each other after the holiday break and wear special blue jerseys that get raffled off for Feed Nova Scotia normally. This season, the teams decided to add another aspect to the series in which the team with the most goals over the two games wins the Hurley Cup. For more info on how it worked, click here. Cape Breton won both games and had a 11-5 goal advantage.

UP NEXT
Your Halifax Mooseheads start 2017 by taking a trip to New Brunswick today to visit the Moncton Wildcats. Game time is 7pm and it's Camo Night at the Moncton Coliseum. The two teams will play again on Friday evening in Halifax. Friday's match will be shown on Eastlink TV and it's Teddy Bear Toss night at the Scotiabank Centre. Don't forget to bring a stuffed animal to the game so you can throw it on the ice when the Herd score their first goal of the game.

The Moose look to the home ice advantage to look and get back in the competition of the Hurley cup. In tonight's loss Alex Gravel was pulled when the team went down 4-0 and Blade Mann-Dixon replaced him in nets. In replacing Gravel it seemed to have given the team a spark to get back into the game. The Moose would get the game to a 5-3 game when the Eagles scored into the open net to take game one of the Hurley cup. Don't forget to bring a non perishable food item for Feed Nova Scotia to receive a raffle ticket to win one of the game worn Battle of Nova Scotia Jerseys. There is looking to be a big crowd so lets get behind our team in a home ice win for the Hurley Cup.

2015 Ended Right

That's how you end a year! Your Halifax Mooseheads were coming into tonight's matchup on a 5 game losing streak but were able to put a stop to it against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles on home ice. The New Year's Eve match was the second of a home and home series between the two Nova Scotia rivals. As such, both teams wore special blue and white NS themed jerseys for their annual Battle of Nova Scotia after Christmas games (missed last season). Each team won their home game this week. Veteran Danny Moynihan, returning from being sick with the flu earlier in the week, powered the offence with 4 assists and rookie Otto Somppi had his first multi goal game, scoring twice, including the overtime winner on the powerplay. Danny's younger brother Connor, a forward, suited up on the back end because Morgan Nauss and Walter Flower were out with injuries leaving the Mooseheads with 5 actual dmen. Halifax got off to a quick start scoring twice on 4 shots but Cape Breton battled back in the second and took a 4-2 lead 6 minutes into the third period. Jocktain Chainey, who the Herd traded for before Christmas, picked up his first goal as a Moosehead to tie the game at 4 in the last two minutes of regulation with a nice slap shot.

Twenty-Twelve done for Mooseheads

In the second part of the Battle of Nova Scotia home and home, the Halifax Mooseheads took the sweep this weekend with two 4-1 wins. Tonight's game was Halifax's annual Battle of NS event where both teams wore special Nova Scotia themed jerseys. It was a very physical game but ended with not very many penalties. There were no penalties in the second period. Alcalde was thrown out only 10 minutes into the game after a fight with one of the Cape Breton players. Before the fight, Liam hit another CB player which led to the fight. In the third period the Moose thought they had scored a third goal but it had rung off the post. However seconds later, Falkenham did score to put Halifax up 3-1. Brent Andrews and Dominic Beauchemin were the other scores for the home team while Bronson Beaton scored for the Screaming Eagles.

Notes: 20 of the special blue Moosehead jerseys were then raffled off and proceeds went to the IWK... The Mooseheads have now won 17 in a row at home this season and are the second team in the Canadian Hockey League to reach 31 wins for the season, London was first after winning tonight as well while also winning their 23rd in a row... 4,600 fans travelled down from Cape Breton to watch the game...

50/50
Congratulations to someone from Pictou County who got over $12,000 winning tonight's 50/50

Dec 29: Cape Breton vs. Mooseheads game preview

The annual Battle of NS event for the Mooseheads is being played tonight between the Screaming Eagles and the Herd. Tonight's game is the second in as many nights between these two teams, as they played each other yesterday in the other annual Battle of NS event held in Cape Breton. Halifax has won the previous four match ups, not including last night's game, and all have been pretty close games. Halifax opened their season in Sydney on September 21 winning an overtime game 4-3 and won again at Centre 200 on December 4th by a score of 5-3. The two games played in Halifax were some of the most exciting games of the season, with the Screaming Eagles forcing a shootout on September 29th and a 4-2 Mooseheads win on November 23rd.
The Mooseheads have outscored their opponents 45-29 while going 8-1-1-0 in their last 10 games. Cape Breton has gone 2-6-1-1 in their last 10 and are 4-11-0-3 on the road this season. Konrad Abeltshauser returns to the line up after missing 11 games, while Cape Breton will be without 3 of their players.
