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
HAL: Samuel Asselin 45pts (27G & 18A), Raphael Lavoie 36pts (15G & 21A), Benoit-Olivier Groulx 35pts (18G & 17A)

Mooseheads Victorious in DND Appreciation Game

For the first time in 5 years, your Halifax Mooseheads were the winning team during the club's DND Appreciation Night game. The team hadn't won on these special evening since the 2013 version where they shutout the Moncton Wildcats. Tonight, the Herd hosted the men and women of our armed forces plus on the ice the team was playing the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. It was a better result for the Mooseheads this evening after another long pre-game ceremony than the home opener almost two weeks ago. This year the club honoured Shearwater 12th Wing base with special white jerseys that had a thick blue line in the middle and the 100th anniversary logo for Shearwater. Halifax got on the board early when Raphael Lavoie scored his first shorthanded goal of his career just over 6 minutes into the contest. Samuel Asselin got his team leading 13th goal of the season to put the good guys up 2-0 after the first period. Cape Breton controlled the middle frame outshooting Halifax 15-7 in the second but were only able to get one goal past Alexis Gravel who continued to make amazing saves including reaching back a few times to save pucks that were on the goal line. The Screaming Eagles were still down two goals after 40 minutes with the score being 3-1 for the Moose. Wilson Forest made it a one goal game with 4:05 gone in the third but that's as close as the road team would get.

Rivalry Week Tie

The Halifax Mooseheads and Cape Breton Screaming Eagles have a tie in their rivalry week match up. In a night that was highly anticipated after starting the season with the 15 game road trip, going 12-3, the Herd were looking forward to finally getting home and being in front of their fans again but we're unable to get the final result they wanted. The Mooseheads got off to a quick start with Jared McIssac getting the scoring started just 2:53 into the game. The Eagles seemed to have the better legs most of the game and were able to tie it up 5 minutes later when Mitchell Balmas scored on a breakaway. The game's first penalty didn't come until the end of the first. Cape Breton didn't look back after the Balmas goal and found themselves with a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes despite no scoring by either team in the middle frame. Halifax received a penalty about five minutes into the third but were able to kill it and that seemed to spark the Mooseheads as they started pressing. Veteran Jake Ryczek scored with exactly 10 minutes left which gave the home team some life but they couldn't get past the Eagles goaltender to get the score even closer. In the end, Cape Breton secures their victory with an empty netter which made the game 5-2 and avenged a loss to the Moose last night in Sydney. Tonight's attendance was the highest in attendance for a home opener in franchise history with 9,949 in attendance.

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS


Finally it's home opener gameday for our Halifax Mooseheads! The Herd are finally back in Moose Country for their first game at the Scotiabank Centre this season after a 15 matches on the road to start the year. Halifax did pretty well on the road, finishing the trip with a 12-3-0 record which includes 4 overtime victories. The boys have been warriors so far in the last 6 weeks but everyone is really excited to be home with new forward Samuel Asselin stating; "You have no idea how excited we are to play in front of our fans! See you tonight Moose fans and be loud." Halifax will have a little bit more of a complete roster tonight as veteran Joel Bishop returned to the lineup last night after missing a couple of games while Ostap Safin may possibly return from the injured list tonight. This evening's match up is the second game of a home-and-home series between the Mooseheads and Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. The two clubs met last night in Sydney where the away team took a 4-3 win. Rookie Cole Stewart scored his first goal of his QMJHL career to get the goal scoring started however Cape Breton was the team who was leading the game after 40 minutes 3-2. Anaheim Ducks prospect Benoit-Olivier Groulx scored twice in third period and Alexis Gravel stopped all 6 shots as the Moose were able to hold on for the victory. Make sure to get to your seats early Moose Country as there will be a pre-game ceremony to celebrate 25 years in Halifax while the boys will also be debuting their new anniversary jersey.

This is the third meeting this season between these two teams. Halifax is 2-0-0-0 against the Screaming Eagles while Cape Breton has a 0-2-0-0 record versus the Mooseheads.

Overall Records

Chainey Hero In 4th Straight OT Game

Photo - Myles Dennis
A new hero emerged on Friday evening as your Halifax Mooseheads played in their fourth straight overtime game, this time against the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. In the two clubs last meeting of the season, the game had everything; lead changes, hitting, interesting calls and of course OT. Jocktan Chainey scored on the power play with 21 seconds to go in the extra frame to get the victory for the Herd. Otto Somppi scored his 14th of the season to get the home team on the board first but seconds later Raphael Lavoie took a hooking penalty that allowed Cape Breton to get back in the match and tie it up. A crazy few minutes in the middle of the first period also included a high sticking penalty by Jordan Ty Fournier and he drew Somppi's blood so the Mooseheads had a 4 minute power play but it wasn't long before the guys took advantage of it. In the second period Lavoie continued his hot play scoring his 20th goal of the season, which gives Halifax 3 players with 20+ goals and I'm sure we'll have more by March 17. The Screaming Eagles were able to use some sloppy play by the other team to tie the game and then a breakaway short handed with less than 6 minutes to go in regulation gave the boys in black and gold their first lead of the game. 20 year old Somppi wasn't going to let the provincial rival team get away with a victory in our house and posted his 15th goal. Both teams had chances in overtime but with a 4 minutes power play, it looked a little grim for Halifax but the guys in white were able to kill it off and then received a power play with 36 seconds to go.

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)

Moose End the First Half on a High Note

Tonight was a big win for your Halifax Mooseheads as they finish the first half of the season on a winning note as they cruise to a 4-2 victory over their provincial rivals the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles after a very hard fought battle by both teams. This is the second victory Halifax has had over the Eagles this week where they took the game in Sydney by a score of 5-2. The Eagles did come out strong but after taking consecutive penalties it saw Jared McIssac draw first blood notching a power-play goal. After that, it saw Peyton Hoyt score to even things up, the first period would end in a one to one tie with shots 12-8 in favour of Cape Breton. In the second it saw your Mooseheads going ahead 2-1 with Patty Kyte scoring his second in as many nights, but about five minutes later Jordan Ty Fournier tied things up once again, just over halfway through the second just as a power play expired Xavier Parent scored to regain the lead that would remain going into the intermission. after two periods of play, it saw Halifax with a lead in shots 21-20. In the third Connor Moynihan would seal the deal and score into the empty net to secure the win for the home team. With a lot of the jump that Cape Breton did have it saw Alex Gravel play a very solid game and make some timely saves to help the team to victory. This game sets up the Hurley Cup that takes place at the end of the month, Halifax will look to take revenge after the loss last year.

Offence Leads to PITR Win

Well that was a bunch of everything. Offence, lead changes, physicality. Just everything you would want in a game when the two teams from Nova Scotia battle it out on a Saturday night. The evening started out with a special ceremony where a father and son came out to drop the puck to honour their mother/wife who lost her battle with breast cancer. This puck drop was special because it was Pink in the Rink night at Scotiabank Centre, raising money for breast cancer research. Less than 3 minutes into the game, the big Connor Moynihan got the home faithful on their feet scoring a pretty nice goal. There was back and forth action in the first forty minutes with both periods ending in brawls at the buzzer. With under a minute to go in the middle frame Halifax native Justin Barron scored his first career goal in front of family and friends. In the third however, after going the first 12 minutes without a goal, the Mooseheads took over propelling the guys in pink to a big 9-5 victory over their provincial rivals.

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

It's Pink in the Rink night! Your Halifax Mooseheads were one of the first teams to host such an event and now each QMJHL team participates in dedicating one game in October each year to raise money for breast cancer research in Canada. This evening is the 10th annual game of this event and will see the Herd take on the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. Halifax will be looking to get back in the win column after losing 4 straight in the past 8 days. Pink in the Rink matches have raised an average of $110,000 a year since it became a league wide event. Fans can buy raffle tickets at the Scotiabank Centre for a chance to win a special game worn pink jersey from a Moosehead player with all money going to the Atlantic region of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. October 13-15 also happens to be rivalry week in the Q with different rival teams playing a home and home series against each other. As Cape Breton and Halifax are provincial rivals it only makes sense that the two teams would be pitted against each other this weekend in the first set of the Battle of Nova Scotia. The Screaming Eagles are another team that should be fighting for the division title at the end of the season with the Moose and Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

This is the second meeting between the two teams this season. Halifax is 0-1-0-0 against the Screaming Eagles while Cape Breton has a 1-0-0-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup was actually last night in Sydney where the Eagles skated away with a 4-3 victory. Filip Zadina scored twice to lead the Herd and Alexis Gravel made 23 saves to take the loss.

OVERALL RECORDS
Screaming Eagles: 6-4-0-0 = 12 points (2nd in Maritimes division, 4th overall)
Mooseheads: 4-3-2-0 = 10 points (4th in Maritimes division, 10th overall)

LEADING SCORERS

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.

Centre 200 (5,000) ~ Sydney, NS

What will Nico Hischier do now? The 17 year old broke a franchise record on Wednesday evening and will be looking to continue his point streak to seven games tonight when the Halifax Mooseheads travel to Sydney to take on provincial rivals, the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles tonight. Hischier scored his first career hat trick two days ago and assisted on 3 others to break the Mooseheads record for most points in a single game by a rookie. He now leads the team in scoring and is fifth in the league. For the fourth time this month, Halifax will be a part of a breast cancer awareness game as the Screaming Eagles are hosting their Pink in the Rink event today. This game is also a part of the QMJHL's rivalry week so the two teams will play a home and home series this weekend. Halifax and Cape Breton have the same record going into this weekend's series so both teams could get some space from the other if one wins both games. Goaltending will once again play a factor just as it has all season. The Eagles have the 7th best goalie on their team in terms of goals against average with Kyle Jessiman boasting a 2.56 GAA. The Moose will put Kevin Resop in nets who is coming off one of his best performances I would say but the defense played well in front of him on Wednesday night which hasn't happened much this year.

OVERALL RECORDS
Mooseheads: 7-7-0-0 = 14 points (5th in Maritimes division, 12th overall)
Screaming Eagles: 7-7-0-0 = 14 points (4th in Maritimes division, 11th overall)

LEADING SCORERS
CAP: Jordan Ty Fournier 12pts (6G & 6A), Vasily Glotov 12pts (3G & 9A), Olivier LeBlanc 12pts (3G & 9A)

PREVIOUS GAMES
Halifax is coming off a 6-4 victory on Wednesday at the Scotiabank Centre against the Titan. Nico Hischier led the team with a three goals and six points while Kevin Resop stopped 29 of Acadie-Bathurst's 33 shots to pick up the win.

Cape Breton is coming off a 5-2 win over Moncton on home ice also on Wednesday. Three different players had a goal and assist each while new goalie Colten Ellis stopped 23 shots against the Wildcats.

Battle of NS Round 1 Goes to Halifax

Connor scoring his goal
The first round of the battle of Nova Scotia during the 2016-17 regular season went to the Halifax Mooseheads who gritted out a 6-4 victory over their provincial rival Cape Breton Screaming Eagles on Saturday night. Despite there being quite a few new faces on both teams, there was a lot of animosity between the two teams already this year. Calls that were missed didn't help and neither did a few of the Cape Breton players going after Benoit-Olivier Groulx and Nico Hischier most of the evening. The 17 year old Swiss forward actually was cross checked into the boards from behind with less than a minute to go in the second period which gave Halifax a 5 minute powerplay. Hischier left for the dressing room but was back on the ice during the ensuing man advantage in the final period. The Herd need to work on their PP as they could not convert on in that long extra man advantage or the other three times. Newcomer Keigan Goetz was a welcome addition in the physicality area of the game but it did get him in trouble once. He even scored his first QMJHL goal less than 8 minutes in.

HALIFAX MOOSEHEADS VS CAPE BRETON SCREAMING
Puck drops at 7:00pm

Scotiabank Centre (10,595) ~ Halifax, NS

Battle of Nova Scotia. There are always entertaining games between these two provincial rivals and I'm sure this year will be no different. Halifax has had a week off and are most likely still high off their win during the team's home opener last weekend. Cape Breton on the other hand is playing their third game in 3 nights and are looking to rebound after losing to the Saint John Sea Dogs last night. The Mooseheads will have a complete team this evening with sophomore Otto Somppi has returned from Tampa Bay training camp, rookie Jordan Lepage is coming off his suspension, defenseman Jocktan Chainey is healthy and recent signee Ontario forward Keigan Goetz suiting up for the Herd for the first time. How will the new guys impact the team? We'll have to wait and see but Goetz should add physicality while the other three will more than likely add some scoring.

This is the first matchup between the two teams this season. Last year, Halifax was 3-5-1-0 against the Screaming Eagles while Cape Breton had a 6-2-1-0 record versus the Mooseheads. The last matchup in the 2015-16 season was March 5. Kelly Bent scored both goals for Halifax in a 7-2 loss in Cape Breton while Maxim Lazarev led the Eagles with 2 goals and 4 points.

OVERALL RECORDS
Eagles: 1-3-0-0 = 2 points (3rd in Maritimes division, 11th overall)
Mooseheads: 1-1-0-0 = 2 points (4th in Maritimes division, 12th overall)

PREVIOUS GAMES
Cape Breton is coming off a 3-2 defeat to the Sea Dogs on Friday night. New captain Olivier Leblanc scored to tie the game at 1 for the Eagles while rookie Kevin Mandolese made 41 saves to take the loss in Saint John.

Halifax is coming off a 4-3 victory in their home opener against Saint John. Rookie Benoit-Olivier Groulx scored his first two career goals to lead the Mooseheads while Kevin Resop took the win stopping 33 of the Sea Dogs 36 shots last Saturday.

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.
