AFL: Hurricanes prepare for home opener

Charlottetown, PE ā€“ The Holland Hurricanes, last seasonā€™s Atlantic Football League Moosehead Cup championship winners, will host the University of New Brunswick Fredericton Red BombersĀ this Sunday at 1 p.m.Ā at the UPEI Alumni Canada Games Place in their home-opener.

The ā€˜Caneā€™s defeated the UNB Saint John Seawolves 36-13 last weekend. Head Coach Andrew Hickey said the win against the Seawolves has given the team a boost in confidence, much needed with so many new players on the roster.

ā€œOur players are excited to be playing at home. The Bombers always play us tough and last week they put up a lot of points against Dalhousie. We are ready for a battle,ā€ he said.
