The Halifax Mooseheads hosted the U13 AAA Bedford Blues yesterday afternoon.
The Blues will represent the Herd as the Junior Mooseheads at the Quebec International Pee Wee Tournament next month!
It’s always fun to introduce the Mooseheads over Sloan’s “Money City Maniacs” as usual, but yesterday when the Junior Mooseheads came out first, I could hear fans behind the announcer booth say “The Mooseheads shrunk!”

The tournament is set for its 65th anniversary that will be held from February 12 to 23!
