Eagles Host Mooseheads on Hockey Fights Cancer Night at the Nest
November 22, 2024 - Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release
The Eagles will be decked out in purple (and green) as they take on the Halifax Mooseheads in the annual Hockey Fights Cancer game tonight at Centre 200.
The Eagles will be wearing specially designed jerseys in support of the Cape Breton Regional Hospital Foundation. Fans attending the game will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets on the game worn jerseys.
It's the first game for the Eagles following a three game road trip in Quebec that saw the team post a 1-1-1 record. In the trip closing game in Shawinigan, the team had a pair of noteworthy goal scorers: the first career goal for Alexis Toussaint and the first goal of the season for former first round draft pick Émile Ricard. The Eagles were without New Jersey draft pick Cam Squires in Sunday's game, but he'll return to the lineup this evening from a one game suspension. (Angelo Fullerton will be serving the second game of a suspension tonight.)
Tonight's game is another instalment of the Battle of Nova Scotia, and the Eagles & Halifax Mooseheads are tied in the standings heading into tonight's game. While former Team Canada World Junior (and now overage) goaltender Mathis Rousseau remains a rock in goal, the team up front has been lead by youth- in particular 17 year old forwards Liam Kilfoil (18 points in 23 games) & Shawn Carrier (16 points in 19 games). Both Kilfoil & Carrier, along with German defenseman Carlos Handel, were given a "C" ranking by NHL Central Scouting, indicative of potential to be drafted in the fourth & fifth round of the NHL draft.
