Future Watch: November
If the month of November was any indication, the future is bright for the Acadie-Bathurst Titan. While several of the teams prospects put together solid performances this month, it was the play of defencemen Zach Biggar and Marc-Andre Gaudet as well forward Josh Nadeau who stood out the most.

This month Biggar accumulated four goals and 13 assists for a total of 17 points in 10 games with the Summerside Western Capitals of the Maritime Junior Hockey League. He now sits second in scoring among defenceman in the MHL with 26 points in 25 games, just one behind former Titan Ian Smallwood. The Portage, PEI product was also named the MHL’s Rookie of the Month for November and is currently with Team Canada East at the 2019 World Junior A Hockey Challenge in Dawson Creek, B.C.
