The second week of Maritime Hockey League action kicks off tonight in New Glasgow, as the Pictou County hosts Amherst. The Weeks Crushers look to build off a 2-1 overtime win over the valley Wildcats, while Amherst opened their season with an impressive 6-2 victory on home ice.
Friday’s action includes two more home openers. The Valley Wildcats look to pick up their first win of the season as they host a Yarmouth Mariners squad that won both of their games last week. In the other, the Rapids and Blizzard resume their budding rivalry in Edmundston. Grand Falls won their first-ever regular season game at the E. & P. Sénéchal Centre 2-1 over the Blizzard last Sunday.
The games keep rolling Saturday. The Ramblers and Lumberjacks face off in Amherst in a rematch of last year’s hard fought Eastlink South Division Semifinal. The Truro Bearcats open their home schedule against Valley, following a 3-2 road win in St. Stephen last week.
The action wraps up with a pair of Sunday matinees as Summerside travels to Miramichi and St. Stephen plays in Edmundston.
Catch all the action on HockeyTV.
