The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies may sit fourth
overall, but they are the owners of the second best record in the QMJHL.
If the Huskies were in any other division
in the league this season, they’d be sitting second overall with 85 points
(division leaders are seeded one through three). But Rouyn-Noranda find
themselves in the Q’s toughest division this season, sitting sandwiched between
the first place overall Val-d’Or Foreurs (87 points) and fifth place Gatineau
Olympiques (79 points).
The Huskies host the second place Saint
John Sea Dogs (76 points) on Friday night at 8:30 p.m.
Rouyn-Noranda has sat at or near the top of
the standings all year long, posting an impressive 40-9-3-2 overall record and a
23-2-2-0 record on home ice. The Huskies made a couple big moves during the
trade period, acquiring Nikolas Brouillard and Timo Meier.
The Sea Dogs will have their hands full
with the Huskies tomorrow night. Things don’t get any easier on Saturday when
the Dogs travel to Val-d’Or.
