RECAP: Five Alive. Dogs Win 6-3.
SAINT JOHN – The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada hung around
but weren’t able to contain the Saint John Sea Dogs on Sunday afternoon in
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League at Harbour Station.
The Armada stayed within one of the Sea Dogs until Danick

was the Sea Dogs’ fifth straight win and pushed them back into first-place in
the QMJHL standings.
Along with Gauthier’s two goals, Ian Saab, Zack Phillips,
Tomas Jurco and Jonathan Huberdeau also scored for the winners. Jurco, Charlie
Coyle and Charles Roussel each added two assists. Mathieu Corbeil made 33 saves
to pick up his 28th win of the season, a new team record.

afternoon, scoring on all three of their attempts.
Cedric Paquette scored twice for the Armada while
Jean-Christophe Laflamme added a solo marker. Storm Phaneuf and his awesome
name allowed five goals on 38 shots. Saint John’s sixth goal was an empty
netter.

Sunday Links
Here are a few links for you to enjoy on the final Sunday
of January.
The first comes from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review which has
a brief article on former Saint John Sea Dogs captain Alex Grant who has been
on fire in the American Hockey League of late. The defenseman has three goals
and 19 assists in 31 games with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins this year.
The second comes from the Wheeling newspaper “The Intelligencer”
which has a column on former Sea Dogs forward Nick Petersen and his hopes of
getting noticed by the Pittsburgh Penguins while playing in the East Coast
Hockey League. Petersen is making the most of his demotion to the ECHL.
''I've been injured a lot this year and I definitely want
to come down here and get my game back,'' Petersen told the newspaper. ''I want
to have fun playing hockey.”
Lastly, according to the Sea Dogs website, Sea Dogs
players will be at the new BMO branch at 45 Hubert Street Monday from 5 to 7
p.m. As part of the bank’s grand opening, and to showcase its new sponsorship
of the Canadian Hockey League, the branch is hosting an “Ultimate Fan”
competition.
The first 100 people to register on site will be entered
in a trivia contest to prove who knows their favourite junior hockey team the
best. The winner will be entered into a draw, along with winners from 40 other
communities, to win a grand prize of a trip for two to the 2012 MasterCard
Memorial Cup in Shawinigan, Que.
