The Moose sent third round picks in 2027 and 2028 to Rouyn-Noranda for the 20-year-old from Levis, QC. Langlois scored nearly a point per game last season by producing a career-high 38 points in 44 games with 16 goals and 22 assists. He added another 10 points in 17 playoff games. Langlois was originally a 13th round pick by Rouyn-Noranda in 2022 and has played 113 career regular season games. The 5-foot-9 forward is a left-handed shot and weighs 177 pounds. His addition leaves Halifax with four overage players with three spots available. Returning veterans Owen Phillips and Quinn Kennedy along with free agent invite Will Hughes and Langlois. The Goodlife Fitness Training Camp Roster now consists of 31 players including 19 forwards, 10 defencemen and two goalies with a further reduction coming later this weekend. The Mooseheads will play their next preseason game on Saturday at 4pm in Charlottetown against the Islanders.

Overage forward Will Hughes earned the first of his two assists in the game on the play. The Moose notched their second goal of the opening period at the 9:13 mark when Cole McLeod buried a backhand beauty for a 2-0 lead. Patrick McNab had a nice assist on the goal while the points continued to rack up for 16-year-old defenceman Jack Cameron who earned his fifth point in three games with the secondary helper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNXwPAenXCc American rookie Sam Fishbone made it a 3-0 Mooseheads lead early in the second period with an unassisted goal as he gathered the puck in the neutral zone and raced down the right side, snapping in a hard shot that beat Isles goalie Vincenzo D'Urso. The Charlottetown netminder faced 37 shots in the game. Farren was next to light the lamp in the game for the visitors on his deflection of a high shot by Ryan Jewer to ruin the Fichthorn shutout bid. The Herd restored their three-goal advantage later in the frame when Jamie Calla pounced on a loose puck during a goalmouth scramble for his third goal of the preseason. Cole MacLeod earned the lone assist. Halifax put it in shutdown mode heading into the third period with a 4-1 advantage but managed to tack on one more and it was a highlight reel give-and-go finished off with a wicked shot by Austrian import Paul Sintschnig as Brady Smith fed a nice pass onto the stick of the highly touted forward. Will Hughes also had an assist on the tally. The win pushed the Mooseheads record to 2-and-1 in the preseason with a return battle against the Islanders coming up on Saturday afternoon in Charlottetown. Halifax will announce further cuts to the Goodlife Fitness Training Camp roster on Thursday. Notes: Forward Jayden Napon is day-to-day with an upper body injury and was not in Wednesday's lineup. Fellow forwards Will Bent and Junior Gualberto also remain out with upper body injuries. Bent is recovering from shoulder surgery and has an expected return of late October while Gualberto was banged up during camp and will be out another two weeks. Goalie Chandler Bell was released from camp earlier Wednesday, meaning 2026 draft pick Carson Mertz has secured the second goaltending position behind starter Jack Fichthorn.

Halifax bounced back with two of their own in the second period to regain the lead with Verpaelst finding the back of the net from Sam Fishbone and Elie Champagne and Cleary burying his second goal in as many nights from 20-year-old Will Hughes and Mickael Fournier. The back-and-forth continued though and Cape Breton scored back-to-back goals before the period ended to take their second lead of the night at 4-3 through 40 minutes. The final period belonged to the Herd as six of their eight shots found their way across the goal line. MacLeod pulled Halifax even at the 2:20 mark and Cameron notched what would stand as the game-winner just 39 seconds later. Calla's second of the evening came shorthanded near the midway point of the stanza to make it a 6-4 game. The floodgates were opened by that point and the Herd kept tacking on with O'Donnell striking on a power play followed by Coté's marker 34 seconds later and a Napon shorthanded tally with one second to go in the game. Halifax goalies answered the bell with Chandler Bell stopping 18-of-20 to begin the game while Jack Bell played the final 29 minutes and change while stopping 13-of-15 shots. The teams wound up splitting the weekend series as the road team was victorious in each outing. The Mooseheads are expected to make their first round of cuts at Goodlife Fitness Training Camp on Sunday. The preseason continues for the Herd on Wednesday night at the Zatzman Sportsplex in Dartmouth against the Charlottetown Islanders at 7pm.

Cleary finished off a crisp setup from fellow June selection Jack Cameron, hammering home a shot to give Halifax a 1-0 lead. Nathan Ruel picked up the secondary assist on the play. That would prove to be the lone offensive highlight for the home side, however, as Cape Breton took control the rest of the way. The Eagles received two goals apiece from Owen Frick and Brayden Reynolds, while Sean Millen added the other marker. All five Cape Breton goals came from American-born players. Halifax generated plenty of opportunities and finished with a 31-28 edge in shots, but couldn't solve the Eagles' netminders after Cleary's early tally. The visitors went 3-for-5 on the power play while the Herd struck out on seven chances with the man advantage. In goal, Carson Mertz got the start for the Mooseheads and turned aside 13 of 14 shots before giving way midway through the game. William Laplante handled the final 28:51 and stopped 10 of the 14 shots he faced. Another bright spot for Halifax came from fourth-round draft pick Sam Fishbone, who led both teams with four hits and made his presence felt throughout the contest. The two Maritime rivals won't have to wait long for a rematch. Halifax and Cape Breton are back in action Saturday night when the preseason series shifts to Membertou, NS, with puck drop scheduled for 7:00pm.]]> https://chl.ca/lhjmq-mooseheads/article/forward-will-hughes-joins-camp-roster Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:32:15 +0000 Scott MacIntosh https://chl.ca/lhjmq-mooseheads/article/forward-will-hughes-joins-camp-roster Tickets are on sale now.]]> https://chl.ca/lhjmq-mooseheads/article/mooseheads-trade-forward-caylen-blake-to-chicoutmi Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:14:36 +0000 Scott MacIntosh https://chl.ca/lhjmq-mooseheads/article/mooseheads-trade-forward-caylen-blake-to-chicoutmi Caylen Blake to the Chicoutimi Sagueneens in exchange for a ninth round pick in 2029's QMJHL Entry Draft.
