Two members of the Wildcats have reason to celebrate.

Gormley, the Cats first over all pick in the 2008 QMJHL draft has participated in five international tournaments, the more recent was last month's Super Series against Team Russia.

Last Friday night, Wildcats centre Ted Stephens was named the Yukon's National Male Athlete of the Year. Teddy has been nominated for the award for the second consecutive year. His parents, Sue and Jim attended the ceremony in Whitehorse and accepted the Award on Ted's behalf. In his third year with the Wildcats, Stephens has 8 goals and 6 assists in 19 games this season.

Heartiest congratulations to the two great young hockey players who wear the Wildcats jersey.

Fans praise Art on Ice creativity:

Fans at Tuesday night's game against Lewiston got their first look at the Art on Ice creations displayed on the Coliseum's Mezzanine floor. They were long and loud in the praise of the creativity of the elementary students at the five participating schools in District 2. The program, developed by District 2 Community Schools and supported by the Wildcats has 37 pieces of art with varying themes. The Art on Ice works will be displayed at the Coliseum at all home games including the big New Year's Eve game against the Saint John Sea Dogs. Some of the pieces will also be displayed in businesses in Downtown Moncton. There will be a silent auction for the Art work with the funds supporting various school programs.

Gatineau in town tomorrow night:

The always tough Gatineau Olympiques visit the Coliseum tomorrow night for a 7 o'clock encounter with the Wildcats. The Olympiques are on a four game swing through the Maritimes. They're in a battle with the Wildcats for eighth place in the League standings. The game sponsor is Midland. There'll be loads of great prizes.
