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!

In a nail-biting showdown last night, the Novas faced off against the Special Olympics Nova Scotia Eastern Highlanders in a heated floor hockey game. The match proved to be a hard-fought battle, with both teams showcasing their skills and determination. Despite the Novas' valiant efforts, the Eastern Highlanders emerged victorious with a final score of 20-18. The event not only highlighted the competitive spirit within the teams but also celebrated inclusivity and the joy of sports. Negotiations have already started for a rematch!

The NS U15 Major October’s Player of The Month is Goaltender Leo Forance from the Nova`s.
