Record Breaking Season!

Nova’s Captain, Duncan Anderson, recently concluded a remarkable regular season, setting new franchise records. Throughout the history of the Novas, over sixty defensemen have dawned the N on their chest, but Duncan has now etched his name in the annals of the team’s achievements. His accomplishments include Regular Season Points by a Defenseman with an impressive 41, as well as recording 29 Regular Season Assists. Duncan’s Regular Season Points Per Game average of 1.28 sets a new standard for excellence in his position. Congratulations to Duncan on his record-breaking achievements!
