ST. JOHN’S, NL — The Newfoundland Regiment are proud to announce defenceman Quinn Norman and forward Ben Veitch have both been invited to participate in Canada's National Men's Summer Under-18 Team training camp. Veitch, a St. John’s native, enjoyed an impressive rookie campaign last season with the Regiment as he collected 21 points (11G, 10A) in the regular season before adding seven points (5G, 2A) during Newfoundland’s postseason run. Norman, a product of Conception Bay South, was a fixture on the Newfoundland blueline in 2025-26 as he notched 13 points (1G, 12A) in 58 regular season games. Veitch and Norman are late 2009 birthdays, making them the youngest two skaters invited to the camp and the only forward and defenceman eligible for the 2028 NHL Entry Draft in the group. The Newfoundland duo also have previous experience with the national program as they each played pivotal roles on the Team Canada Red squad that took home Gold at the 2025 U17 World Hockey Challenge last fall in Truro. U-18 camp gets underway next week out west where both Regiment skaters will look to crack the final roster for the 2026 Hlinka Gretzky Cup taking place in Edmonton from August 3-8. Unite. Inspire.

Both Beston and Smith played an integral role in the Regiment’s on-ice success across the 2025-26 campaign where the team reached the second round of the QMJHL playoffs in their inaugural season.

Stanford and O’Leary Named QMJHL Executive of the Year

bradyreid — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 13:19:27 +0000

ST. JOHN’S, NL — The Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) has named Newfoundland Regiment President Glenn Stanford and Vice President Ken O'Leary as the co-recipients of the John Horman Trophy for the 2025-26 season. Awarded annually to the league's Executive of the Year. The announcement marks a historic moment for the Regiment, recognizing the pair's extraordinary efforts in building the franchise from the ground up and delivering one of the most successful inaugural seasons in QMJHL history. The John Horman Trophy is awarded based on criteria including leadership, creative revenue initiatives, franchise operations, community involvement, and contributions to the visibility of both the team and the QMJHL. The Regiment's performance across every one of those categories in year one made Stanford and O'Leary the clear choice for the award. “This honour belongs to everyone who poured themselves into building this organization. The ownership group who believed in this vision and made it possible, the staff we assembled who showed up and delivered every single day, and the fans who came out and made Mary Brown's Centre one of the loudest buildings in this league. I also want to acknowledge the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Their legacy gave our club its soul, and the pride they carry for this province is something we try to honour every time we step on that ice. Ken and I set out to build something the fans of this province could be proud of, and to see them embrace the Regiment the way they did in year one is something we will never take for granted. We are just getting started.” - Glenn Stanford, President, Newfoundland Regiment Hockey Club “I am truly humbled by this recognition, and to receive it alongside Glenn Stanford makes it something I will cherish for the rest of my career. Glenn is a mentor, a legend in this community, and his dedication to ensuring that this province continues to develop not only hockey players but front office staff and hockey professionals is something I have a tremendous amount of respect for. But neither of us could have done any of this without the incredible team we assembled. They proved that we are a hockey town, and that hockey development, both on and off the ice, is as strong as ever in Newfoundland and Labrador. This trophy is theirs as much as ours” - Ken O’Leary, Vice-President, Newfoundland Regiment Hockey Club Unite. Inspire. Defend.

Regiment Formally Submit Intent To Bid For 2028 Memorial Cup

bradyreid — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 21:21:29 +0000

ST. JOHN’S, NL — The Newfoundland Regiment are pleased to share the team has officially submitted their intent to bid to host the 2028 Memorial Cup in St. John's. The submission positions St. John's as a candidate to host the Canadian Hockey League's premier championship event, bringing together the top teams in major junior hockey from across the country for the first time ever in Newfoundland and Labrador. "In the history of the Memorial Cup, this province has never had the honour of hosting this championship," said Glenn Stanford, President of the Newfoundland Regiment Hockey Club." The time has never been more right, the momentum has never been stronger, and we are confident that St. John's is ready to deliver a Memorial Cup that will be remembered for generations." The bid builds on Newfoundland and Labrador's established track record of successfully delivering major national events. Mary Brown's Centre and the broader St. John's region have hosted events ranging from the Montana’s Brier to NHL pre-season games and the East Coast Music Awards, demonstrating the city's proven capacity and hospitality on the national stage. The Newfoundland Regiment's inaugural 2025-26 QMJHL season laid the foundation for this bid in remarkable fashion. The club posted a 38-22-3-1 regular season record, advanced to the second round of the playoffs, and drew an average of more than 5,300 fans per game at Mary Brown's Centre, setting a QMJHL attendance record for a first-year franchise. "What this community did in year one was extraordinary," Stanford added. "The people of Newfoundland and Labrador embraced this team and this game with full force. Hosting the Memorial Cup in 2028 would be a celebration of everything this province represents: community, resilience and pride." The bid carries an added level of sentiment given the Regiment's deep connection to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, Canada's oldest regiment, and the province's broader legacy of remembrance. Memorial University of Newfoundland was founded and named in honour of Newfoundlanders lost in both World Wars. In no other Canadian city does the name "Memorial Cup" carry such weight. The Newfoundland Regiment Hockey Club will now await the CHL's shortlisting process before proceeding to the Formal Written Bid stage. Unite. Inspire. Defend.
