Brad Marchand has taken a leave of absence from the Florida Panthers of the NHL to help out here at home.

He and his childhood friend Andrew Bodnarchuk, a couple of former Mooseheads, are coaching tonight at a game at the Halifax Forum helping out a long time friend JP MacCallum and his family after the passing of their daughter Selah.

The former TASA Ducks will help coach the U 18 Marchand and Mill Co Hunters against the Halifax Macs at the Halifax Forum at 7pm tonight, October 29th, allowing JP to remain at home with his family at this very trying time.

Above a statement from Paul Graham Nova Scotia U18 President.

High Button Sports will broadcast the game on their YouTube channel, view below or by clicking HERE.
