The Halifax Mooseheads kicked-off their home opening game for the 2024-25 season with a puck drop from the city’s outgoing mayor, Mike Savage.
In a statement, the Mooseheads said they wanted to honour Savage, for being “the team’s biggest fan.”
Savage has held the top job at city hall since October 2012. Back in February he announced he would not be re-offering for a fourth term, ending his 12-year run as the city’s mayor.
