Former Halifax Mooseheads star Zach L’Heureux is scheduled to make his NHL Debut tonight with the Nashville Predators.
The Preds will face Hammonds Plains native and another former Moose Brad Marchand and the Boston Bruins in Music City!

There will be a couple of familiar faces in the stands for tonight’s game as some Moose Country fans will be there.
Tyler Long the Halifax Mooseheads Assistant Equipment Manager, who has Down Syndrome, and his mom Joanne will be cheering Zach on.
Tyler is no doubt Zach’s biggest fan!

Tyler and Zach built a special relationship during his time playing in Halifax and the two have kept in touch.
The Longs flew out early this morning to witness this special moment.
