When the Memorial Cup comes to your town there’s a certain amount of pomp and circumstance, but with the location of the arena in Halifax, there seems to be more around than usual.
Located right in the heart of the city, near the citadel, the waterfront, and plenty of bars and restaurants, this will become a two week party that won’t stop for anything. The host team Halifax Mooseheads was feeding off the energy of their hometown and took the WHL champion Prince Albert Raiders to task last night.
The Mooseheads took control of the game early, and thought they had scored in the first couple of minutes; but the whistle was clearly blown early and the goal waved off right away - with an interference penalty against Halifax thrown in for good measure.
