Former Coach Ted Nolan visits the Den Thursday night
Former Wildcats coach Ted Nolan is returning to Moncton for Thursday’s game against the Cape Breton Eagles. Nolan coached the Moncton Wildcats in the 2005-2006 season when the team won the President Cup and hosted to the Memorial Cup. Under his direction, they won 52 of 70 regular season games.
“I’m excited to return to Moncton and see the team’s new state-of-the-art facilities in the Avenir Centre,” said Nolan. “I also want to share important information and raise awareness during Multiple Myeloma Month.”
A year ago, Nolan was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. He received treatment and is recovering.
“In hockey, I faced many battles on the ice,” said Nolan. “This is one battle I’m hoping others can avoid. Research is critical to help cure and prevent myeloma. If you’re able, please take part in fundraising and awareness events.”

The Wildcats lead the Eagles 4-3 in their season series, and have won 6 of their last 10 overall. The Cats sit 3rd overall in the East, and are being pursued closely by Rimouski, Chicoutimi, and Cape Breton — any of whom could be their 1st Round playoff opponent. Home ice advantage is also still up for grabs, so every game down the stretch is important.
The Eagles haven’t loss since the Cats took them down on March 2. They’ve rattled off 4 wins since then, scoring 19 goals in their last 3 outings and getting stellar goaltending, allowing only 5.
