Maritime Division Preview Pt 2

Back for part 2 of 3 part Maritime Division Preview, took a little longer to get the show up for you but we made it. 
We head to the Island in part 2 with the colour voice of the Charlottetown Islanders Cory Arsenault as he talks about expectations with a Hulton lead Islanders team in the mix of a rebuild and then up to our good buddy Johhny Rocket as there seems to be some optimism in Bathurst. 
We chat about the preseason where the games don't count but can you put stock into the way they play and the results or is it about making mistakes now instead of 2 months from now.
Breaking News as Moncton is getting a banner (who and when) 
ENJOY!! 

Maritime Division Preseason Preview Pt 1

We're back for after a recharge and the week off, and in for the long haul. It was a week off for the Wildcats as well which means we had some cuts to begin the 2nd half. 
We head around the division for our annual preview, we start with Willy Palov as he breaks down the Cup or bust season for the Mooseheads and then when we head to SJ to talk to Jamie Tozer about the camp with many a trades so far.
We had a Preseason #StickTapOfTheWeek for a EXCELLENT Wildcats Ticket venture!! 
(yes we know the audio wasn't great for the Stick Tap, we apologize)

Season 7 Premier!!

We are BACK for our Season 7 Premier, summer is over,  it's camping season!! 
The have made some tough choices this past off season, and we're here to break them down, but also Training Camp opened up on Saturday with 3 Scrimmages and we give you an idea who is catching not only our eye but maybe the eye of the coaches before the vets get here. 
It's a premier episode which means we needed a guest and this was a pretty cool one as we had the first ever Moncton Wildcats draft pick (who went 5th overall) JF Damphousse to get his thoughts on not only his son being a camp but just his life in the hockey world as the first ever Moncton Wildcat drafted into the NHL!
We're back Sept 6th to recap some preseason games and have a sense of this roster for the 2nd half of training camp!
ENJOY

50 EPISODES this year, but this is the finale as we are back from Sherbrooke where the Wildcats had the first overall pick in the draft and what a weekend it was for not only us but the all Wildcats fans! 
We always love to have a guest on the finale and this year we have 2, as we were VERY pleased to be joined by Wildcats Superfan Brent Daborn as well after the draft we had a chance to catch up with head scout Alex Gauthier to discuss some of the selections in over the weekend!

" I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!" We are SO CLOSE to the QMJHL Draft and being back to a live in person draft, we VERY excited to be part of this draft as we were granted a media pass so we'll be on the draft floor covering this for you. 
We were joined by Cedrik Blondin, the play by play voice of the Armada to discuss the options of the number 3 team in the draft and the team that we think is where the draft starts. 
The main event of the show, our Annual Mock Draft as we look at the 20 picks and who could be putting on jerseys come Saturday, but we know there are some trades coming so we tried to highlight those teams that could be moving!

Q Draft SZN Part 2 - Rumours Edition

We're back and now ONLY 10 days away from the QMJHL Draft June 9-10th in Sherbrooke and wanna say a special thanks to Alpha's Appliance Solutions for presenting our coverage this draft season!
What have we been up to since we last talked, new reality TV shows, adulting and oh & a viral Tik Tok has kept us busy..lol 
But this was a fun draft show, as we dug into a few rumours for what we expect to be a WILD (no pun intended) trade period & long round 1 with many a trades on draft day. Will the Wildcats be involved moving up and down, what's the goalie market in the Q and few first rounders potentially rumoured on the move. 
We predict the new Top 10  for the draft order (WHICH likely won't be close)
We're back next week with our annual Round 1 Mock Draft

QMJHL Draft SZN Part 1

It's that time again as the QMJHL fans that aren't in the playoff hunt get excited for the QMJHL Draft, a time of year where GM's can reshape a franchise over the weekend in Sherbrooke. 
We have you covered with previews of not only the Wildcats but the QMJHL in general and we start with a quick preview of the East Division. We battled them for standings all year, so we decided to have David Reid of Drakkar Fanatic to give us his thoughts on not only the Drakkar but the Oceanic & Sags. 
We're back in 2 weeks, hopefully with another guest to take Central Division and maybe a few in the Western Conference!

The Weekly Rewind Presented by The Local Sports Pub was more of a Season Recap as we graded the team overall after a rollercoaster of a season, and we got in to grading the position groups and highlighted some names that kinda caught our eye all season. 
We answered 3 of the biggest off season questions..Will the have 2 new Euro's, who replaces the scoring next season with 4 major departures and do the Wildcats need a cultural shift behind the bench and off the ice?!
We're back in two weeks on May 17th!

OffSeason Show Part 1

What a difference a week makes. We're in the Hawaiian/Golf shirts as the Wildcats are eliminated in Round 2 by the Halifax. 
The Weekly Rewind presented by The Local Sports Pub had us looking back on not only games 3-4-5 losses vs the Mooseheads but as well the playoffs as a whole. Who was the MVP of the playoffs for the Wildcats, what did we learn about this team in the 12 playoff games moving forward.
