July 19, 2014
The Fredericton Express was an American Hockey League team in the Canadian Maritime province of New Brunswick. The club was founded as an expansion team in 1981 to serve as a farm club to the NHL’s Quebec Nordiques. In 1982, the Vancouver Canucks entered a partnership with the Nordiques to jointly operate and provide prospects to the club. This two-team partnership endured until 1988, when the Nordiques shifted the franchise from Fredericton to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
