Teasdale, a Montreal Canadiens prospect, was named tournament MVP.
Halifax's Samuel Asselin opened the scoring in the final minute of the first period, and Raphael Lavoie added another goal for the Mooseheads early in the second frame. However, after that Halifax wasn't able to respond to the Huskies.
Rouyn-Noranda also reached the final of the 2016 tournament, but the team lost that championship game to the London Knights.
