Eagles Open Home & Home with Matchup against Mooseheads
Published on February 6, 2026 under Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
Cape Breton Eagles News Release
The Cape Breton Eagles will finish their six game home stand the same way it started- with a game against the Halifax Mooseheads. The two Nova Scotian rivals will face off in a home & home series this weekend, with the first leg going tonight in Sydney. The Eagles will be providing fans with a different look tonight- for the first time since 2024, the Eagles will wear their alternate gold uniforms.
The Eagles are unbeaten in regulation on the home stand so far, with three wins and two shootout losses, but did fall to defeat against Newfoundland 3-2 in a shootout six days ago. While Eagles forward Eliot Litalien has notched six points in five games, Saturday's game did mark the end of his four game goal scoring streak.
While the Eagles defeated the Mooseheads to open the home stand, Halifax is the most recent road team to record a win in regulation at Centre 200- a 5-2 Halifax victory on New Year's Eve. Samuel Rousseau recorded two assists in that win, and he was in the news this week with the announcement he will play in the NCAA next season for Long Island University. Another Moosehead having a good week was Shawn Carrier, who named to the QMJHL's team of the week with six points in three games.
Tonight will be a special night for North Sydney's Dave Ivey, who will serve as a linesman for the final time in his QMJHL career. The North Sydney native has been on the lines for 292 QMJHL games, with his first game coming on September 23rd, 2012.
