Press Release

The Moncton Wildcats are pleased to announce that they will be hosting the Saint John Sea Dogs on September 7th at the Amherst Stadium in Amherst Nova Scotia. This will be the Wildcats 5th exhibition game of the season against a team that has been to the Memorial Cup for the past two years.

The Wildcats are happy to have partnered with the Amherst Ramblers who will be selling 50/50 at the game with a donation going to local minor hockey. Tickets will go on sale soon at the Amherst Stadium, stay tuned for more details.

This is the first time that the Wildcats have played a game in 'The Jungle' and look forward to it being a spirited affair between two rivals. The Wildcats are excited to showcase all of the new talent that has joined the team through the draft with two new European standouts Ivan Barbashev and Dmitrij Jaskin and as well as local draftee Josh Pugsley. Also joining the team are three players to complete the Gormley trade coming from Memorial Cup Champion Shawinigan Cataracts: Alex Dubeau, Jonathan Racine and Yannick Veilleux.
