Mike Morreale twitted a picture yesterday of our top guns looking very "dapper", according to Halifax Mooseheads twitter who retweeted the picture, in their suits.
I must say they look very handsome in suits. It will be interesting to see where each guy goes in the NHL draft coming up on Sunday in Newark. Who do you think will be drafted first out of the Mooseheads players on June 30? Hit the comments below.
MACAULAY
Press release.
According to Andrew Rankin, Stephen MacAulay has been signed to a tryout contract by the Montreal Canadiens. MacAulay, who is from Cole Harbour, was drafted in 2011 by the St. Louis Blues but never signed with the team. He was invited to the Hamilton Bulldogs training camp last season but didn't make the team. He spent 5 years in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, playing the first 4 and a half years with the Saint John Sea Dogs and finishing his career in Halifax. He helped the Mooseheads win the Memorial Cup this past season. He ahs a very impressive trophy record winning 4 Jean Rougeau trophies, 3 President's Cups and 2 Memorial Cups.
Lower Sackville native and former PEI Rocket player Ben Duffy was also signed to a tryout contract by the Canadiens. He was the regular season scoring champion this past season for the PEI Rocket who lost in the first round and played their last game as the Rocket on April 1st.
Good luck to both boys in training camp.
MACKINNON
There was a nice column in today's paper by Willy Palov talking about Nathan MacKinnon and former Herd player Freddy Cabina. A decade ago, Cabina was living with the MacKinnons as their billet child. He played three years with the Mooseheads and spent all three under the same roof as Nathan and giving the young boy tips about hockey. Freddy used to tell young Nate that he would be drafted first overall in the NHL draft one day and now that might actually happen.
