Ten years ago this week I announced Nathan MacKinnon’s very first QMJHL goal with the Halifax Mooseheads!
It’s hard to believe a decade has passed since Cole Harbour’s star made hockey history here in Moose Country.
For me, I was glad he made that milestone happen here at home and not on the road, it’s certainly one of my favourite goals to have announced over my 24 seasons with the team.
The historical goal was assisted by Darcy Ashley from Alberton, PEI and Dartmouth’s Josh Desmond.

Las Vegas oddsmakers say the Colorado Avalanche are the favourites to win the Stanley Cup this season, so let’s hope Nate can bring Stanley back home to Nova Scotia!
