ROUND ONE SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League released the full schedule today for the upcoming Saint John Sea Dogs - Cape Breton Screaming Eagles Round One playoff matchup.

The Sea Dogs unveiled awhile ago that the first two games would be held on Friday, March 25 and Saturday, March 26 at Harbour Station. Tickets for both games went on-sale this past Saturday.

Games three and four will shift Sydney and will played on Tuesday, March 29 and Wednesday, March 30. Both games start at 7:00 pm at Centre 200.

There are no surprises in this schedule as it is the typical format for a playoff series against a divisional opponent. If necessary, Game Five would be held in Saint John, Game Six in Cape Breton, and Game Seven back at Harbour Station.

Here is the full schedule for the Sea Dogs – Screaming Eagles series:

GAME ONE – Friday, March 25: 7:30 p.m. @ Harbour Station
GAME TWO – Saturday, March 26: 7 p.m. @ Harbour Station
GAME THREE – Tuesday, March 29: 7 p.m. @ Centre 200
GAME FOUR – Wednesday, March 30: 7 p.m. @ Centre 200
*GAME FIVE – Friday, April 1: 7:30 p.m. @ Harbour Station
*GAME SIX – Sunday, April 3: 4 p.m. @ Centre 200
*GAME SEVEN – Tuesday, April 5: 7 p.m. @ Harbour Station
*If Necessary
With the Sea Dogs winning the regular season for the second straight season, each series will start on home ice, and, if needed, all Game Sevens would be played at Harbour Station as well.

On Friday, QMJHL Commissioner Gilles Courteau will be in house to present some hardware to the team once again this season. From the Sea Dogs website:

Friday night’s match will feature a special pre-game ceremony in which QMJHL Commissioner Gilles Courteau will present the Sea Dogs with the Jean Rougeau Trophy as regular season champions, the Luc Robitaille Trophy as the highest scoring team in the league and the Robert LeBel Trophy for the best goals-against average.
If/when the Dogs advance to the Second Round, it will probably start on Friday, April 8 at Harbour Station.
