On a dark Saturday night in late August, the Chaleur Lightning hockey team had just played an exhibition game against the Miramichi Timberwolves and boarded the team bus to head back to Bathurst.
That’s when assistant coach Alex Ouellet heard the driver let out a gasp.
“Couldn’t have been more than five minutes into the drive,” said Ouellet. “I looked up and I saw a shape in front of us, and then just a loud bang right away.”
The team bus had come face to face with a moose, colliding with it on the highway. Thankfully, Ouellet said, the team and coaches walked away without injuries, aside from the driver who had a few scratches.
