Moncton Wildcast

2 Steps back this week!

Boucher is back in studio this week after an explosive family day weekend in NS, and the Wildcast Studios is moving!! Layla and Adam bought a house with the help of Eric Murray, so we'll have a new studio before the playoffs!!
Local Sports Pub Weekly Rewind had us VERY frustrated on AND off the ice with 3 losses to Sherbrooke and 2 vs Halifax. After winning 2 of 3, the Wildcats lost 3 of 4 on the weekend and will now have a bumpy road to the finish line.

A Couple Wins this week!

Little different this week as Boucher was in SJ this week so we did it via phone call for the show as Adam was in the studio alone this week as we discussed the Rihanna Concert in the middle of a football game. 
Boucher puts a different spin on his Team of the Week as he uses it to look at some Moncton Wildcats prospects having good years in the pipeline.
The Local SportsPub Weekly Rewind had us a little happier as the Wildcats won 2/3 to end the 6 game road trip, the 2 wins weren't perfect but they were wins and now they have a tough 4 in 5 nights with 3 in 3 vs Sherbrooke & home and home with Mooseheads

Breaking Point

We are back this week and nothing has really changed, some of us got older, and some of us finding out we raised a prankster!
Weekly Rewind Sponsored by The Local Sports Pub means we have hit the breaking point, losses in 9 of 10 and 6 in a row, this team is just now midway through the road trip and it's not looking great as we have SeaDogs tonight, Bathurst(Friday) and Charlottetown (Saturday)
We had Will MacLaren writer from the QMJHL and Co-host of the Hockey News Q podcast join us to talk SB, and give us his thoughts on the Wildcats, the Mooseheads and what he'd change if he was the new Q commish.

What IS Happening 2.0?!

So is not the same show as last week but is it time for a new voice, and if it is, who "could" it be? We through some names out, but theyre in a very tough spot with only 2 months left in season but also a year where we're "supposed" to contend.
The Local Sports Pub #WeeklyRewind was another week with losses, another week with no answers?! The Wildcats lost BOTH games over the weekend and now head out on a VERY tough 6 game road trip, where 3 of those games are against top 4 teams in the league (Gat-Vic-Que).

What’s Happened to the Wildcats?!

We're back for another episode after the storm rolls through the Maritimes but it's not just off the ice that's been stormy, the Wildcats are snowed under so far in the past two weeks. 
The Weekly Rewind presented by The Local Sports Pub was not great, lost 2 of 3 including to the last place Islanders and Sags (midst of 3 in 3) and it just was lackluster in both games. 
So how do they fix it and is Lacroix on the hot seat with 2 home games this weekend as part of Timbits Weekned..we discuss

Special Guest Mathias Muller In Studio

Welcome back for a second episode this week, this one was a little different but a very fun interview. We were joined in studio by Mr Mathias Muller, father of Miles Muller of your Moncton Wildcats. 
It was a fun chat, where we talked about having a son playing in another country, as well how Moncton was able to land Miles in the draft without an import roster spot. How is hockey different in Switzerland as well we chatted about his role as President of the Lyss HC. 
Once again, thank you to Mr Muller for taking the time to be in studio and chat with us, always fun to do a different type of interview!
ENJOY

Wildcats Cooling off like the Weather?

The weather couldn't stop us, as we are back for another episode. The Local Sports Pub Weekly Rewind had the Wildcats with one game cancelled over the weekend on Friday due to weather (so good to say that after 2 years) but we had 2 games that yes they were in but special teams was the difference as the Wildcats let the Remparts and Mooseheads go 50% on the PP, not a great recipe and they went 0-2 in those.
We got a little of topic during the "News and Notes Around the Q" as we look WAY ahead to the QMJHL Draft in Sherbrooke and maybe a Wildcats/Phoenix trade that sets the dominoes falling to a roster that could host the 2025 Memorial Cup?!

200th Episode

We are back for our 200th episode and it's a big one as we the begin the 2nd half of the season looking back at the World Juniors and the Trade Deadline. 
We got off to a hot start to begin the 2nd half going 5-1 in 6 games and 3-0 to begin 2023, we had some new faces in the lineup as Plandowski and Trenholm make their debuts at home as we get into the Weekly Rewind presented by new sponsor The Local Sports Pub.

Christmas 1st half Finale

We have made it to Christmas and that signals the end of the 1st half of the QMJHL season for the Moncton Wildcats. The end the first half 16-13-0-1 for 34pts and 2nd in the division and 4th in the Eastern Conference. 
We went 2-1 on the weekend but we're looking for this club to look in the mirror and figure this out in the 2nd half, too many collapses in the 2nd period that has this team not where we'd thought they'd be. Can the real Wildcats please stand up! 
We're at the trade deadline period, and we have seen a few league trades go down so we talk those as well what could happen in the 2nd half.

Final Maritime Trade Deadline Preview Show

Well even thought the deadline has begun we still had to hear from a couple voices from around the Q!
First we started in Quebec with Cedrik Blondin of the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada who gave us his thoughts on a tough season so far as well maybe some teams and names to keep an eye on in Quebec.
Then we had Johnny Rocket Jonathan Roy from Slapshots Podcast join us to get his thoughts on what the Titan may do with their 2 big names during this trade period as well as in goal. 
And finally we wrap up talking Wildcats, including the Darcy and Iasenza trade as well possible names that could go out and become part of the Wildcats in the next few weeks!
Once again thanks to everyone involved, Jamie Tozer (Station Nation), Cory Arsenault(Islanders colour voice), Willy Palov (Mooseheads Beat Reporter), Pat McNeil (Eagles PxP voice) and of course Jonathan Roy and Cedrik Blondin for joining us to get you set for the trade deadline!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!
