VICTORIAVILLE – The always thrilling Subway Super Series begins tomorrow night at Colisee Desjardins in Victoriaville as Team QMJHL hosts Team Russia.

Four members of the Saint John Sea Dogs will be taking part in the event – defensemen Nathan Beaulieu and Pierre Durepos along with forwards Zack Phillips and Jonathan Huberdeau.

With the game less than 24 hours away, news is starting to pour out of Victo. Here are some notes:

  • Moncton Wildcats defenseman Brandon Gormley will serve as captain for Team QMJHL. Forwards Phillip Danault of the Victoriaville Tigres, Jonathan Huberdeau of the Saint John Sea Dogs, and defenceman Morgan Ellis of the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles to serve as assistants for both games.
