TOP DOGS AGAIN

For the fourth straight week, the Saint John Sea Dogs are ranked the number one team in Canada. The news came this afternoon when the latest edition of the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings were released.

The Sea Dogs had a rough week despite pulling of two victories. They barely beat the last place Halifax Mooseheads 5-4 in a shootout on Friday night at the Metro Centre. 24 hours later, the Sea Dogs defeated the sixth ranked Moncton Wildcats by the same score in a shootout.

They have a stiff test this week as they face Bathurst tonight and a strong Cape Breton team on Friday and Sunday at Harbour Station.

Saint John is one of three QMJHL squads to earn a spot on this week’s list. Moncton is ranked sixth and Drummondville is tenth.
