The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League rivalry between Saint John and Moncton was on display Friday night as the two teams tangled in the special anniversary contest at Harbour Station.
League president Gilles Courteau was in Saint John to meet with community leaders and fans as the Q celebrates its 50th anniversary.
It’s been a great meeting. Thank you for your time @dondarlingSJ and I really appreciate your support to the Sea Dogs and by the way you look good with the President Cup and Memorial Cup trophies https://t.co/NM8p1UDx4X

Courteau says one of the biggest improvements in the league is the school bursary program for the players.
“Each and every player is getting a maximum of $6,000 a year for four years, $24,000. It’s something we are very proud of and one of the biggest improvements in our league,” Courteau says.
The Moncton Wildcats pummelled the Saint John Sea Dogs 8-1.
