By Ryan Melanson Trident Staff

The Halifax Mooseheads hadn’t earned a victory on DND Apprecia- tion Night in five years heading into their November 9 meeting with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles, but were able to break that losing streak in front of a crowd of 8,540 that included many members of the defence community. The Mooseheads took down the Screaming Eagles 5-2 on a night that was all about supporting men and women in uniform and honouring some of this year’s military mile- stones. Once again, the Mooseheads wore special DND-inspired jerseys for the game, with the latest design honouring the 100th Anniversary of 12 Wing Shearwater. Raffle tickets were sold throughout the night for a chance to win one of the special jerseys. “Over the years, the Mooseheads, along with the fans, have raised close to $170,000 all in support of the Camp Hill Veterans’ Memorial Garden. It’s something that’s very important for the team each year,” said Moo- seTV announcer Scott MacIntosh prior to the game. With sales from this year’s raffle tickets, along with RAdm Craig Baines, Commander more jerseys that will be auctioned MARLANT and JTFA, was on the ice for off at a later date, the total amount the ceremonial puck drop, along with 12 raised through this 15-year partner- Wing OSS CO LCol William Reyno, at the ship will be approaching $200,000. 15th annual Halifax Mooseheads DND The money goes entirely toward the Appreciation Night on November 9.
