Looking to follow a junior team from the Q!

[Cory Trevor]

Hey everyone!

I'm a Bruins fan who follows alot of college hockey however I've started to watch alot of junior lately. The OHL gets alot of hype and the WHL seems to far for me unless I move back out west. I was just trying to get an idea of style of team play to follow.

I like Rimouski. I've watched a few games and that's drawn me a bit. Also thought of Acadie-Bathurst because of Patrice. Any ideas? I enjoy a sound defensive game with real high end talent on the forward core. Sounds typical however just interested if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks!

Halifax ia always a treat to watch , If you like the rough and tough style like your Bruins I would suggest the Rocket they lead the league in Fights, Than if you dont mind watching a french broadcast Val D'or is a nice team to watch

Bruin fan, style of play = Moncton Wildcats.

You've got a username that says Halifax to me.

I'd agree with what's mentioned above about Moncton. They're a great team and one of the best organizations. Danny Flynn coaches a defensive first team but they have exciting firepower as well. Brad Marchand is a part product of the Wildcats.

Are you by any chance a masochist? Cape Breton wants your support.

With the turnover rate of junior it's hard to "get into" one team, as the players and style can change from year to year ... But Moncton is typically a "defensive" team, but Halifax have a lot of high-end forward this year.

Rimouski have a good young core with some exciting forwards and promising D .. Unlike Moncton and maybe even Halifax, they will be good for years to come with a great group of 95's.

I think you should cheer for Krejčí's old team.

We suck now, but we'll be good again soon.

Somebody suggested Val-d'Or, and they are a fun team to watch, so that wouldn't be a terrible choice.

FWIW, Luc Chenier is slowly teaching me French through his Olympiques radio broadcasts. It will be difficult to follow at first, but you'll pick up quite a bit of French in short order. I'd be happy to help as long as you cheer for an approved team.

What do Brad Marchand, Andrew Bodnarchuk, Milan Jurcina, Joey MacDonald all have in common??? They all have play(ed) for both Boston and Halifax.....

So why don't you join us.. become a Moose Maniac in time for this Memorial Cup run!!! Join us... join us... join us... join us... You know you want to... Drouin... MacKinnon... Fucale... They could be YOUR players...

Maybe he doesn't want to just be a bandwagoner.

It's not bandwaggoning if you have a reason (Bruins/Moose players).

This guy^

Not even close. The Wildcats aren't physical at all, when was the last time they had a legit fighter on their team? Tyler Howe like three years ago or something probably.

Just choose a team who's jerseys you like OP. That's how I chose a WHL team to play as in NHL 12

Kingston doesn't wear their Bruins jerseys anymore though. They've classed it way up, and now have some of the nicest jerseys the O has to offer!
