?@hfxmooseheads The league is discussing the situation on tonight's game and will advise us of their final decision at 2pm. #nsstorm
Sounds like there could be options. Rainmen are in the Scotiabank Centre tomorrow night. I see Sunday being the solution. Or a 1pm Thursday start would be interesting if it's only the players they are concerned about. Move the Rainmen up to 8pm.

As Per the latest, the league is discussing now and will make a final decision at 2 PM with this weather it may be impossible for staffing since so many are snowed in, and for officials to get here even. (Not sure when it would be made up, as season ends Saturday unless they play tomorrow night at the Forum since Moncton is in town but the Scotiabank Center is booked)

It's a go first game in 3 years I may miss,thankfully for season tickets they may disclude tonight's game for Gold club members since some of us may be snowed in. (A bit crazy if you ask me there playing this, I know from John Moore's videos that some of the players are in Dartmouth and surrounding areas; I know it's the end of the season but come on Safety first) Not the first time it's happened between these two teams. In January, 2005 Halifax played in Moncton... really bad storm that day... ended up getting two feet. But the Moose traveled to Moncton the day before and therefore the game had to be played... and I don't recall anyone (especially anyone from Halifax) saying how "crazy" that was. I'd be willing to bet in both cases that all people involved were happy to not have to reschedule. Cats won that game 4-0, btw... Adam Pineaut beat, I think, Churchill (could've been Duchesne) on a shot from the redline. Cody Doucette won a decision over Kevin Cormier. Dan Lacroix with his first coaching win in the Q after Larue got canned. Good times. It was a KO ... no decision needed. Dropped him like a bag of wet cement (who puts water in their cement while it is still in the bag ?).

Get the Moosehead bus out to pick up the players and Officials (Thomander and whomever else you guys have that are local) ... thats all you need.
People can get there if they give themselves enough time.
Why is it that people in Moncton don't let 30 cm of snow bother them ... but to everybody else the world is coming to an end ?

Because we get so much practice - what are we up to, 450 plus cm of snow so far this winter? No wonder 30 cm doesn't faze us or the city crews anymore ...

For what it's worth, it wasn't 30cm. This was as of 1pm. It's still snowing a bit here, but definitely not as hard as before. There must have been times when games in Moncton were postponed for less than 50cms of snow. I understand it won't be a blizzard as of 7pm. But if this was in February it would be postponed with no extra thought.

But if this was in February it would be postponed with no extra thought. There is an easy 40-60 cm down everywhere I see just on regular snowfall - the drifts however are completely burying cars and doors. Making all this worse is the storm on Sunday building everything up, and the winter in general especially where the snow/ice storm that gave us those 4 foot perma-snowbanks that never melted. The MC is built into a steep hill. One car getting stuck in this (very likely) would cripple the traffic right now as everything is basically down to one shared lane in many parts. Like you say, any other week its a no brainer to cancel and keep people off the roads. The only thing making it questionable was that its the last week of the year, and the teams are in the city. I'm assuming there was issues with officials, players, staff getting safely to the rink, because if they were all able to go it probably would have gone ahead despite a sparse crowd.

Because we're setting 50 year snowfall records. Twice in a lifetime snowfalls tend to be a big deal.

I'm still snowed in and not much point shoveling till it stops drifting, as I'm sure many others are Safety first. Moncton is here, but we have no where to play tomorrow night as the Scotiabank Center is booked for Rainmen playoffs and for those that think Truro the Rath Eastlink Community Center is booked tomorrow night too for Game 4 between Truro vs Pictou; season supposedly ends Saturday so not sure they can make it up Sunday.
