Eagles Finish Regular Season this Afternoon in Saint John
Published on March 21, 2025 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release
The Cape Breton Eagles play their final game of the regular season today in Saint John and will look to end the year on the right foot with a showdown with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar looming.
After victories for both the Eagles & Drakkar last night, the details were made official: the Drakkar will finish the fourth seed in the East, while the Eagles will finish fifth, confirming a playoff series between the two clubs, a rematch of last year's league semi-final.
The Eagles were unable to stop Baie-Comeau from finishing fourth despite a win over Saint John loss. The loss officially eliminated Saint John from playoff contention. As a result, today will be the final QMJHL game for Saint John 20-year-old defensemen Nate Tivey & Matteo Mann.
Last night the Eagles emerged with a 4-1 victory, as defenseman Brayden Schmitt scored and added an assist while Alexis Cournoyer stopped 32 of 33 shots in the win. It was a special night for Eagles forward Cam Squires, who scored his 100th QMJHL career, becoming the fourth Eagle player to do so in franchise history.
