QMJHL - Saint John Sea Dogs vs Halifax Mooseheads

The Mooseheads were the first team from Atlantic Canada to join the QMJHL. With the Moosehead's success, the QMJHL then expanded to several other east coast cities. The QMJHL's eastward expansion has been credited with elevating the skill level and the career opportunities for hockey talent from the region. In the 2018–19 season, three of the NHL's top seven scorers were QMJHL alumni from Halifax, two of them former Moosehead's.
