Halifax Macs U18 Major

Halifax Macs U18 Major The Halifax McDonalds are a NS U18 Major Hockey League team that plays at the Halifax Forum

The Halifax McDonalds have one of the longest storied traditions of U18 Major hockey in Nova Scotia dating back to 1978. As a chartered member of the then Nova Scotia Major Midget (now U18 Major) Hockey League, the team has played in every season since the league’s inception in 1978. The McDonalds aka “The Macs” have seen their fare share of success on the ice but have also helped with developing

the skills of alumni members who have excelled to great levels. Graduated members of the club have gone on to win University and European Championships, the Presidents (QMJHL), Memorial (CHL), Turner (IHL), Calder (AHL) and NHL Stanley Cups. In 2008 the franchise changed sponsorship and for the first time in nearly 30 years the team re-branded under a new name. As the Titans the team continued on great success, including back-to-back league championships in 2011-12 which included a trip to the National finals (TELUS Cup). Despite the change in identity, the die-hard fans and alumni still referred to the team as “The Macs”. In 2013 the local HRM McDonald’s franchise owner operators returned as the team’s Title Sponsor. With that the Macs name returned to the U18 Major hockey scene in Halifax. A new coaching staff was assembled that consisted of Macs alumni who understood the tradition and pride associated with playing with the “Golden Arches” on their chest as a Halifax McDonalds player. The rebranded team saw immediate success with another league championship and appearance at the 2014 TELUS Cup. Since returning to the Golden Arches, the team would see continued success on the ice by winning Regular Season Championships, 5 trips to the East Coast IceJam Finals, winning in 2014, and another trip to the TELUS Cup National Championship in 2019. The Halifax program has had over 140 QMJHL draft picks, over 90 MHL picks, 15 drafted to the NHL, 6 Memorial Cup Champions, 6 National Jr. A Champions, 1 World Junior Hockey Champion, and 1 NHL Stanley Cup Champion (back-to-back).
