The South Shore Canadian Tire Mustangs are in New Brunswick for the annual 'Monctonian' tournament. The local major midget club opens up their round-robin Thursday night against the Miramichi Rivermen. Head Coach Tim Boyce says it's key to open the tournament with a win.
"It's kind of tough, you know, we've never seen the team play. Obviously, you approach every game the same, you want to worry about what you're doing on the ice and not what the other team is doing. The first game of any tournament is always the most important, you want to get off to a good start."
Boyce says he expects the tournament to be a good test for his club. The Mustangs take on Miramichi at 5:30 Thursday evening in Moncton. They also play Charlottetown and St. John's during their round robin.
