The Novas are proud to announce their leadership group for the 2026–2027 Nova Scotia U15 Major Hockey League season.

Nole Romard has been named team captain, while Alex Dan MacDonnell, Liam Duggan, and John Purcell will serve as assistant captains.

The four players were officially introduced as the team's leadership group, taking on an important responsibility as The Novas begin another season of U15 Major hockey.

Being selected to wear a letter is an honour that extends well beyond performance on the ice. It represents the trust of the coaching staff and the responsibility to lead by example through hard work, commitment, accountability, and respect for teammates, coaches, opponents, and the game itself.

The Novas have long placed an emphasis on developing more than hockey players. Building strong character, responsible teammates, and positive representatives of our communities remains an important part of the program's philosophy.

As members of the leadership group, Romard, MacDonnell, Duggan, and Purcell will be expected to help establish and maintain those standards, support their teammates, and contribute to a positive, team-first environment throughout the season.

Leadership is not simply about wearing a letter on a jersey. It is about the example you set every day, both on and off the ice.

The Novas congratulate all four players on their appointments and look forward to their leadership throughout the 2026–2027 season.

New season. New group. Same standard.
