Eagles Continue Road Trip Tonight In Rouyn-Noranda
The Cape Breton Eagles are looking to build their first winning streak of the 2024-25 season as their road trip continues tonight in Rouyn-Noranda against the Huskies.
The Eagles got in the win column for the first time on Wednesday with a 6-4 victory over Gatineau. It was a spectacular debut for newly acquired 20 year old Joseph Henneberry who scored a hat trick in his first game in Eagle colours. The newly formed line of Henneberry, Cam Squires, and Jacob Newcombe combined for ten points. It was also a special night for Squires, as it was his 200th game in the QMJHL.
Tonight’s opposition provides a formidable attack that includes reigning scoring champion Antonin Verreault, who is off to another strong start with 11 points in six games. However, he currently trails his own teammate, new import Lars Steiner, who leads all QMJHL rookies with 13 points in six contests. Another greater than point per game player is Bill Zonnon, who is projected by some to be a first round NHL draft pick.
Here’s what else you need to know ahead of tonight’s game!
