Halifax Mooseheads News Release
The Battle of Nova Scotia is on and in a big way. The Halifax Mooseheads and the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles announced today a unique event taking place this holiday season where the teams will be wearing special Nova Scotia jerseys to highlight their Provincial rivalry. The jerseys, which can be seen on both team's websites, will be worn during the home and home series on Tuesday, December 29th in Sydney and back in Halifax on December 30th.
"Cape Breton and Halifax have been rivals for a long time and the players from both teams certainly understand that this is more than just another regular season game" stated Paul MacDonald, Screaming Eagles President.
"I grew up watching the Battle of Nova Scotia, so I don't need to be told what these games mean to the Halifax Mooseheads" stated Mooseheads winger and Halifax native Gerrad Grant. It's about each team, their fans and the entire organization not wanting to lose to their biggest rival. Every time these teams step on the ice together Provincial pride is on the line".
"As a Cape Bretoner I always wanted to beat any team from Halifax no matter what sport I was playing" stated Screaming Eagles Captain Nick McNeil. "Ever since I came into the league this was always a big game for us. I know our team will be looking forward to keeping our winning streak against the Mooseheads going."
Both teams will partner with Feed Nova Scotia on this event to collect non-perishable food donations for the Nova Scotia based charity. More details on the Battle of Nova Scotia and how to win one of these special one-of-a-kind jerseys will be released next week.
