The Herd’s Mathieu Cataford has just signed a three-year entry level contract with the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights this week.
This continues the Mooseheads pipeline to the NHL from Moose Country with former Herd members now in the NHL like Cole Harbour’s Nathan MacKinnon and Jonathan Drouin making headlines in Colorado, Nik Ehlers in Winnipeg, plus Timo Meier and Nico Hischier in New Jersey to name but a few to move on to “The Show.”
Another Moose connection to Vegas is former Mooseheads Head Coach Dom Ducharme who is an assistant coach in Sin City with the Knights.

Mathieu continues to be one of the leading scorers in the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League.
Congrats Cat!
