PREVIEW - After going 1-1-1-0 on their first Quebec road trip of the season, our Halifax Mooseheads are back home tonight to take on the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies. These two teams are projected to be contenders for the Gilles Courteau Trophy once again this year so it should be another good contest. Overager Brody Fournier has had a very good start to begin his last year in junior hockey and he'll look to keep providing the offence. Halifax hasn't had the same goal scoring prowess as it did in 2022-23 but that was too be expected though I think the fact that Markus Vidicek (who was fourth in team scoring last year) has been quiet may be of some concern. We could possibly see a goaltending battle tonight as Mathis Rousseau has been basically lights out so far and Huskies netminder William Rousseau is third in the league for save percentage. William of course was the one who led the Quebec Remparts to a championship against the Herd back in May. If you can't get to the game this evening to see this exciting contest, it will be broadcasted on Eastlink's Friday Night Hockey.
