Moncton Wildcats News Release
Bell Centre wows Cats:
Dozens of pictures were taken, the words "awesome" and "wow" was used a hundred times as the Wildcats sat on the bench of the Montreal Canadiens and skated on the Habs home ice Tuesday afternoon. The hour long practice was for most of this year's team, the first time they had been inside the mammoth hockey building in downtown Montreal. With the famous Montreal dressing room behind them, there was almost a reverence as the Cats skated over the famed "CH" at centre ice and occupied the same spot as former and present day NHL stars have done. It was an hour in their young hockey lives to be remembered and cherished.
Fuming Willie working out:
Wildcats Mascot, Wild Willie, is fuming mad over the controversial point he lost at Harbour Station in Saint John last Saturday night. As part of the Rivalry Cup competition, Willie and the Sea Dogs mascot, with the funny name of Fleaburn, took part in an on ice challenge which the biased Sea Dogs claimed their mascot won. Willie says, "not so", according to the rules he was given, he won the event. To make sure he wins the next event fair and square, Willie has been noticed a Nubody's every morning, working out, to be totally prepared to swat Fleaburn in the next round.
