The St. John’s IceCaps season opener was fast, aggressive, and full of determination, but even with Charles Hudon’s two-point night, it just wasn’t enough for the victory.
The IceCaps said hello to the 2016-17 season with a new captain, Max Friberg, who is backed by Mark Barberio and Jacob de la Rose as the alternates. Sounds like a pretty good start to me.
Stefan Matteau was busy serving a two-game suspension, for what was deemed an illegal check to the head, during his lone AHL game late last season.
The game immediately got off to an intense start.
