Sea Dogs Ranked 2nd Again


Once again this week, the Saint John Sea Dogs are second in the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings. The latest edition of the rankings were released this afternoon.

The Sea Dogs had a busy weekend, playing three games in three nights. Saint John defeated the PEI Rocket 7-3 on Friday, the Halifax Mooseheads 4-3 on Saturday and the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 5-3 on Sunday. Friday’s match was played on the road.

Saint John now sits atop the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League standings with a record of 19-6-0-0 record.

Other QMJHL teams to crack this week’s top 10 were the Quebec Remparts at No. 4, Shawinigan Cataractes are No. 9 and the Victoriaville Tigres at No. 10.

Jacques Beaulieu and the Sarnia Sting were ranked fifth.

The weekly rankings of the Canadian Hockey League’s Top 10 teams are selected by a panel of National Hockey League scouts.

Here are the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings for week nine:

1. London Knights (16-3-0-1)
2. Saint John Sea Dogs (19-6-0-0)
3. Tri-City Americans (15-5-0-0)
4. Quebec Remparts (16-4-2-1)
5. Sarnia Sting (13-3-1-3)
6. Saskatoon Blades (15-6-0-1)
7. Red Deer Rebels (14-4-0-2)
8. Plymouth Whalers (13-6-2-1)
9. Shawinigan Cataractes (16-7-1-2)
10. Victoriaville Tigres (16-8-0-1) 
Honourable Mention:
Medicine Hat Tigers (14-6-1-1)
Ottawa 67's (12-6-2-1)
Brandon Wheat Kings (14-6-1-1)

In Buzzing The Net’s Dynamic Dozen this week, the Sea Dogs were ranked second behind the Remparts.

Saint John has a tough week ahead with four games on the schedule. Tonight, they host the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies before hitting the road. They play in PEI on Friday, in Bathurst on Sunday and in Quebec City on Tuesday.

The Remparts – Sea Dogs match next Tuesday should be a dandy.
