Saint John Sea Dogs Director of Hockey Operations Mike Kelly announced today that the team has called up forward Chuckie Schembri from the Dieppe Commandos of the MJAHL.
Dieppe was swept out of Kent Cup contention by the Woodstock Slammers earlier this month. Schembri recorded one assist and eleven penalty minutes in the series.
The call-up comes after the Sea Dogs played a forward short last night against the PEI Rocket in game one of their first round playoff series. Mike Thomas will serve the final game of his suspension tonight and Aiden Kelly will not play due to a concussion.
Schembri will likely be sent back home after Thomas returns on Tuesday night.
A native of Brampton, ON, Schembri has registered 25G-34A-59P in 149 career MJAHL games, all with the Dieppe/Moncton franchise.
The 5’10”, 170 lb. winger has also appeared in six games at the major junior level, having tallied 1G-1A-2P-4PIM in brief stints with the Moncton Wildcats (5GP, 2008-09) and Halifax Moosheads (1GP, 2009-10).
He recently participated in the Halifax Mooseheads’ training camp after a stint with the Moncton Wildcats. That’s when things went a wrong.
On September 16, 2009, Schembri was sent home by the Mooseheads for disciplinary reasons. It was later revealed that it was due to incident on a road trip to Cape Breton.
"I was treated fairly," Schembri said to Metro Halifax. "I made a mistake that at that level you just can't do. And being 19, I don't get second chances. It's too bad I didn't really even get a chance to prove anything on the ice. But that is no one's fault but my own and I have only great things to say about the coaching staff and the organization."
