Newfoundland Regiment

So as much as we complain about it, when we got it, always appreciate it.

And speaking of good positive things, it was a pretty good weekend as well for the Newfoundland Regiment versus the visiting Halifax Mooseheads down at the Mary Brown Centre.

They drop a tough one in OT on Friday night.

Bounced back big time Saturday night, which seems to be their M.O. so far this season.

Gotta give a shout out to Penticton last week.

Patrick and I talked about what a successful first season the Newfoundland Regiment had and the momentum that they come in with year two.

Same thing with the Penticton Vs now, the difference being the Newfoundland Regiment were a brand new organization from the ground up other than their roster, of course, which, you know, it was a franchise relocation from Bathurst.

But, you know, everything in Newfoundland was built from the ground up there.

pentectin kind of different right it was an expansion roster so they had to build the roster from the ground up but it was a an established organization for the bchl you already established fan base and everything so not a huge change for for the fans in attendance other than the teams that they were watching their v's play against but You couldn't have asked for a much better first season as a WHL franchise.

Speaking of October and this time here in the fall and sports, of course.

And so it was a great first weekend of hockey down at the Mary Brown Center as the Newfoundland Regiment kicked off their season against the visiting St. John Cedars.

Great crowds both nights.

Little sluggish.

I was going to say we got our own feeder system right here, you know.

We do.

And, you know, like we've got a we've got a partnership now this year that we set up with the Newfoundland Regiment.

We want the players to see what it is day to day.

Well, from Nova Scotia, but moved to St. John's, Newfoundland at an early age.

Worked for the Leafs and the Ice Caps and the Fog Devils and the Regiment now.

He's a legend, but he bailed on me.

Hung me out to dry.

Um, I think that Tigers offense is gonna be really fun to watch, so it'll be interesting to see what they can do.

And then finally, uh, go out in the queue, the Newfoundland Regiment.

Uh, this is a team that I think is gonna be very fun to watch.

Uh, particularly because of two players that they're both late birthdays, so they're not eligible, uh, for the draft until 2028.

That's, that's really cool.

So then a little bit into the 2024-25 season, you moved to the Titans, and then eventually the Newfoundland Regiment, both in the QMJHL.

Um, what was this move like, and how did you adjust to starting in this new league?

Like, I definitely had a tough time if, like, if I'm being honest, and-

Oh.

Oh, that's so cool

... there's, like, there's, like, old photos of the actual Newfoundland Regiment.

Yeah.
