The Caps will play their first MHL (Maritime Junior Hockey League) game at Eastlink Arena since Dec. 17 on Thursday. The Caps will host the Woodstock Slammers in an important clash.
“It’s kind of cool to hop in with a big game like this,” said forward Alex Rawding, who will make his Caps’ debut after being picked up in a trade with the South Shore Lumberjacks last weekend. “I’m looking forward to hopefully contribute.
“The guys definitely want to make a push for first, so hopefully we can start that off Thursday night.”
The Caps are 16-14-0-1 (won-lost-overtime losses-shootout losses), and sit third in the Eastlink North Division. The Caps are five points up on Woodstock (13-14-0-2), and five back of Miramichi (18-11-1-1) and Dieppe (17-10-3-1), who share the division lead.

Former team
It will also be a special game for defenceman Mike White, who made his Caps’ debut in Friday’s 6-4 road win over Miramichi. White, who joined the Caps after a deal with Amherst last week, was drafted in the first round, seventh overall, by Woodstock in 2013. He played a year and a half with Woodstock.
“They were the team that drafted me into this league, so every time I play them I bring my A game,” said White, who was the top defenceman in the New Brunswick/P.E.I. Major Midget Hockey League for the 2012-13 season.
