Bump for the start of the season.
You're excited, right!?!?
67's named three alternate captains yesterday, leaving Monahan as captain for the time being. A's will be on the jerseys of Ryan van Stralen, Taylor Fielding and Joseph Blandisi.
67's begin with home games on Friday(Belleville) and Sunday(North Bay). Head coach Chris Byrne and defenceman Jonathan Duchesne are suspended for both games. Duchesne left the bench on a line change and went after a Belleville Bulls player in the last pre-season game. Automatic suspensions.
Ottawa plays their first four games at home. Hope to catch a few games, but it's so depressing being in that arena when the stands are empty lol.
Gatineau started their regular season with two wins over Val-d'Or and Sherbrooke.
