DOGS RANKED SECOND AGAIN

Here is this weeks edition of "Sea Dogs ranked second in Canada." For the fifth straight week, Saint John's major junior team is the second best team in the BMO CHL Mastercard Top 10 Rankings.

The Sea Dogs' epic 22 game winning streak came to an end on Sunday afternoon as they fell 7-3 in Moncton. Lost in the disappointment was the fact that the Dogs won two games prior to that over PEI and Acadie-Bathurst.

The full BMO CHL MasterCard Top Ten Rankings can be found below:

1 – Windsor Spitfires, OHL (27-4-0-4)
2 – Saint John Sea Dogs, QMJHL (30-5-1-0)
3 – Barrie Colts, OHL (27-4-0-1)
4 – Calgary Hitmen, WHL (25-8-1-1)
5 – Saskatoon Blades, WHL (23-6-1-3)
6 – Drummondville Voltigeurs, QMJHL (24-9-0-2)
7 – Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, OHL (22-6-3-1)
8 – Tri-City Americans, WHL (21-8-0-0)
9 – Victoriaville Tigres, QMJHL (23-10-1-1)
10 – Brandon Wheat Kings, WHL (23-11-0-2)

Despite the number one ranking, not all is well in Spitfire land. The Spits should be celebrating as Ryan Ellis, Taylor Hall, Adam Henrique, and Greg Nemisz were all named to the World Junior team. But the team is recovering this week from a bizarre incident.

Windsor players Dale Mitchell and Mark Cundari were sent home after 40 minutes of hockey in the Spitfires 5-2 loss to Kitchener on Sunday. Sent home means they were actually sent home. Spits coach Bob Boughner ordered the players to remove their uniforms and leave the WFCU Centre.

“I’d just had enough of watching them,” an angry Boughner said to the Windsor Star. “I was disgusted in both of their efforts."

The players reportedly went to a drinking establishment after that. Either way, they missed the team's curfew. They have since apologized.
