Nova Ties Long Held Record

This past weekend in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, forward Lex Watt tied a Nova record by scoring 5 goals in one game against the Western Hurricanes. This accomplishment has only been obtained three times in the past by a Nova, once by former Captain Matthew Ellis in 2017 and twice by former Captain Tyler Peddle in 2019. Congratulations Lex!
