'Halifax Mooseheads Tickets'

'The Halifax Mooseheads — a major junior hockey program from the Canadian province of Nova Scotia — has a long, successful record of developing top talent up to the age of 20. Many Halifax alumni have gone on to play in the professional leagues, including the NHL. The Mooseheads franchise was founded in 1993 following the departure of the Halifax Citadels from the professional American Hockey League. In 2013, Halifax won its first-ever President’s Cup with a five-game victory over Baie-Comeau. As the champion of the QMJHL, the team went on to represent the league in the Memorial Cup, which determines the best team in Canadian major junior hockey. In the final, Halifax triumphed over the Portland Winterhawks from the WHL to capture the coveted cup. The Mooseheads returned to the Memorial Cup in 2019 as the host, but it lost to league foe Rouyn-Noranda Huskies in the final. Fans of major junior hockey can purchase Halifax Mooseheads tickets at StubHub, a leading source for live events.'
