The Acadia Axemen come to town this weekend. The Axemen are very talented, deep, and skilled at every position. They are led by 6'10 Owen Klassen, a member of the National program, Justin Boutilier, and Anthony Sears. Freshman Tyler Scott, who played for me in the Summerside Canada Games, is off to a great start, one of the Axemen's leading scorers.
