Devils'Advocate: I don't think the Mooseheads will have a great season this year, middle of the road maybe, I was at the exhibition game against Bathurst the other night and wasn't overly impressed. Cape Breton should have another middle of the road year this season. However with James Sheppard currently ranked #6 by the Red Line Report for the 2006 Draft, as well as some rookies that are really impressing in camp and the young guns from last season they might be able to do something in the playoffs this year.
The QMJHL has Halifax, Cape Breton, Saint John, PEI, Bathurst, Moncton (Mem Cup Hosts this year), as well St John's has a team as well. Also of note Lewiston ME has a team.
icarus: buy more fish? what fish? haha
calf: Labrador is part of Newfoundland, but traditionally was a part of Quebec. They're Newfs but not really, the few people I know from there like to make the distinction.
CaramonLS: I CAN NOT sing, you DON'T want to hear me sing. I'm saving all your ears here people! :P
Winsor_Pilates: Maritimes are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and PEI... add Newfoundland for the Atlantic Provinces
Nova Scotia is the sea coast, right on the ocean, has the Annaoplis Valley, Cape Breton Island, as well as ferry services to Maine, Newfoundland, and PEI. Transport is a major indusrty here, as well as the navy, and tourism. Halifax, Nova Scotia is also the economic hub of the Maritimes.
PEI's economy is based on farming, and tourism. They have thousands of people travel there to see the Anne of Green Gables stuff each year.
New Brunswick... ummm sucks? Hahaha, actually it's a fine province has a few "major" cities (I say 'major' as they aren't on par with Calgary or Edmonton) with Freedytown, Moncton, and Saint John. Moncton is the economic hub of New Brunswick, and is the gateway to PEI and Nova Scotia.
All three are similar but Nova Scotia is the best, hahaha. I'd say NS also has the move Celtic culture in it.
I don't think people should know everything about this part of the country, I get angered when it's not acknowledged. If you can't even name the provinces and capitals I get angered, but it's like that for everywhere in the country IMO. I'd be upset if you couldn't tell me the capital of BC was Victoria.
Reggie: I don't know, I don't drink Moosehead out of priniciple of hating the Halifax Mooseheads with an ultimate passion.
