As part of its ongoing efforts to offer fans a premier hockey experience, the Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League is proud to launch the “Thursday Night Showdown”.
Every Thursday during the regular season, the QMJHL will offer fans a game free of charge on its YouTube channel and on CHL TV.
The first Thursday Night Showdown will take place on January 30, and will show the Halifax Mooseheads against the Baie-Comeau Drakkar.
This will be a great opportunity to see Justin Poirier and Matyas Melovsky in action, two of the league’s top scorers, along with Lucas Beckman, Carlos Handel, Alexis Mathieu and Liam Kilfoil, four players ranked in the Top 100 North American prospects by NHL Central Scouting for the upcoming draft.
“Our Thursday Night Showdown represents a great opportunity to create a weekly happening for our fans that allows them to watch some excellent hockey. Over the past few years, our teams have put a lot of emphasis on their webcast, and the product just keeps getting better. We’re thrilled to launch this initiative in time for the final stretch of the season,” shared QMJHL Chief Marketing Officer Karl Jahnke.
