Telus Cup action is underway today in Membertou
For the local teams, Kensington starts at 11am vs the Markham Waxers of OMHA, and the Rush open their tournament against the Calgary Buffaloes at 7 tonight.
Some quick notes for each team:
Kensington Wild - Strong season in NBPEI league, Dickson (SWC, BAT) and Doyle (SWC, HFX) 2 of the top U18 products in the Maritimes, lots of prospects for both MHL and QMJHL. I know the Caps and TWolves have a few respectively.
Sydney Rush - Had a rough season the NS league with a younger team, but never count out the host. Leading scorers Seymour (WKS) and O’Neill (AMH) to be leaned on, but return of Pilling (MHL Eligible, CBE) near the end of the season is a huge boost.
Magog Cantonniers - The Perennial threat from Quebec, returns after heartbreak in 2022 to Moncton. Believe they have 2 06’s returning from that squad. Elite netminder in Labbe who committed to Union (ECAC) recently.
Brandon Wheat Kings - Dominance all season. 1 loss all season, in a game i presume they rested players for regional finals. 08 Jaxon Jacobson (BWC) is the top U18 scorer in the country and should be a thrill to watch.
Unfortunately no notes on the Calgary Buffaloes or Markham Waxers (aside from them going from 4th in OMHA to winning Ontario Regionals, clicking at the right time). Should be a great tournament. Best of luck, especially to our 2 Maritime teams
