The Wildcats also won the league championship in 2009–10, which sent the team to compete at the 2010 Memorial Cup in Brandon, Manitoba where they were eliminated from contention after going winless in the round-robin portion of the tournament.

They played for one season under the ownership of racing driver John Graham and coached by Lucien DeBlois.

The team hired former NHL coach of the year Ted Nolan, and acquired players such as Keith Yandle, and various rookies.

The Wildcats finished in first place in the league, going 52-15-0-3 for 107 points and winning the Jean Rougeau Trophy for the first time.

In the Memorial Cup, Moncton finished second in the round-robin after defeating Peterborough and Vancouver but losing to Quebec.
