The Halifax Mooseheads made a pretty big trade with the Rimouski Oceanic on the opening day of the QMJHL Trade Period on Monday by acquiring 18-year-old forward Quinn Kennedy and a 2026, 2nd Round Draft Pick (originally property of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada) in exchange for veteran defenceman Jack Martin and forward Lou Levesque.
Quinn grew up in Upper Tantallon playing for the TASA Ducks and later the Halifax Macs before moving on to the QMJHL.
He had a career-high 21 goals and 45 points last season and has found the back of the net 11 times and has a total of 16 points in 2024-25.
Both my sons Drake and Trent officiated Quinn in TASA at the St. Margaret’s Centre in Tantallon and said he was going to make the Q someday.
On a personal note, I’ve known Quinn since he was born as his dad Travis Kennedy works in the Mooseheads Front Office, so it’s going to be cool announcing his goals here in Moose Country!

The Mooseheads organization said they would like to thank Jack Martin and Lou Levesque for their great contributions to the team and wish them the best of luck as they join the hunt for a Memorial Cup Championship.
The QMJHL Trade Period runs until Monday, January 6th at 1pm ATL.

Quinn will make his debut on Saturday, December 28th in Acadie-Bathurst when Halifax visits the Titan.
The Moose will play a home-and-home series with Cape Breton to close out the 2024 calendar year.
Halifax visits the Eagles on Monday December 30th before coming home to ring in the new year at Scotiabank Centre against the Eagles on Tuesday, December 31st at 2pm.

Welcome back home to Moose Country, Quinn!
