Season 43 Cape Breton Highlanders 58-17-5-2 123 362 159 5-4-1
Season 43 wrap up
Season 43 was another record setting season for the Highlanders, despite the loss of 4 star players after season 42. Franchise records were set in team points (123), single season assists (Jolkkonen with 71), number of all-stars (5), and number of 20 goal scorers (9). There was also a taste of playoff success, with the Highlanders winning their franchises first playoff series, a tight 7 game series against the Wyandotte Hurons. After 3 season in Cape Breton only 11 players remain from the previous Manchester franchise, putting the Highlanders back into full development mode. After one season as Franchise Player Wyatt Jolkkonen retires and Lyle Mankola takes over as Franchise Player.
