The Kensington Monaghan Farms Wild will travel to Quispamsis to compete in the U18 Atlantic Championship, which takes place at the Qplex from April 1-5, 2026. The team earned their spot in the regional tournament after winning their third consecutive Prince Edward Island major under-18 championship on March 26, 2026.
The championship tournament is hosted by the Saint John Vito’s and will feature top youth teams from across the region. Along with the host team, the event brings together the provincial champions from Hockey New Brunswick, Hockey PEI, Hockey Nova Scotia, and Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador.
The Wild secured their regional berth by defeating the Charlottetown Island Coastal Knights in a hard-fought six-game series. The deciding game ended 3-2, with Riley Cormier scoring the winning goal with under seven minutes remaining in regulation time. Goaltender Jase MacPherson, a prospect for the Saint John Sea Dogs, was named the series most valuable player after making 37 saves in the final game.
The upcoming games will be held at the Qplex, a multi-purpose recreation facility in Quispamsis known for its sustainable design, including geothermal energy and rainwater harvesting. The facility has a history of hosting major sporting events, ranging from national hockey championships to figure skating competitions.
