in partnership with Saint Mary's University. The Macs are looking to host the event at the new Dauphinee Centre, set to open this September on campus.
Absolutely heartbroken to learn of the untimely passing of Andrew Picot. Our time with Andrew was brief, but our bond is forever. Sending our sincere condolences to the Picot family. Here's a feature that

Congrats to Isaac Arnold who is headed to Syracuse University on a full academic scholarship for biochemistry. He also received a commitment to play hockey there in the Fall.
Our 43rd season has come to an end. We started the year with a mismatch of players. Different paths brought us together. The bond was instant. The friendships were real. No "superstars". No egos. 20 guys who should have worn hard hats to the rink, because we always came to work.
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Art MacDonald. We send our condolences to Christina, Alexander, Adam, Olivia and their family.
His fundraising efforts have nearly met their goal. If you can help, especially for Christmas, please visit -

Nice way to wrap up the decade.
This picture gets it all. The boys emptied the tanks, but none of this could’ve been done without all the time the coaches and staff put in, and everything our families do for us.

are Telus bound!

Usually try not to involve religion in our posts, but given the events on the weekend, one can't help but think this sunset was a sign from above.

@RCMPNS
confirm a bus carrying a Major Bantam hockey team from Berwick, NS slid off Hwy 105 in Queensville, Inverness County this afternoon.
They say one player suffered a broken arm.

We preach character, but this goes much beyond. We'll respect the students who wish to be anonymous, though if you watch the story, you may recognize a name. Unbelievable quick thinking. Beyond proud.
Two students are being recognized for their quick actions, and school administration and parents are thanking the community, after a difficult week at Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, N.S.
📢 Congratulations to our 10 Macs drafted today. A new team record! The Macs also produced the second most draft picks in the entire draft by a team, trailing only St Eustache (11). Best of luck at camps. Work hard this summer guys!
Congratulations to the following graduating Bantam players who have been protected by the Macs for the 2018-19 season.

Thanks to Macs Alumni, Don MacLean for stopping by and talking about his experiences at the Air Canada Cup in 1994. Don is one of the best players to ever wear the Macs Jersey and went on to have a very successful pro career.

Shyla Blair has been managing the clock and game sheet for 20 seasons. To put that into perspective, she's watched members of our coaching staff play. Always willing to add a hand to any team event she's the best Twitter Wife I could ask for. (Pictured with Hunter Benoit)
