Sea Dogs Slip To No. 6

SAINT JOHN – The Saint John Sea Dogs slipped to sixth in the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings this week. The latest edition of the rankings were released today.

The Sea Dogs had a bit of a rough week, going 1-1. They played an ugly game on Thursday night at Harbour Station, dropping a 4-1 decision to the Memorial Cup hosting Shawinigan Cataractes. The Sea Dogs then beat the Drummondville Voltigeurs 3-0 on Saturday night but their offense didn’t have a great game.

Saint John is now 32-13-0-2 and sit second in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with 66 points. They are 6-3-0-1 in their last 10 contests.

Other QMJHL teams on this week’s list include the Cataractes at No. 3 and Quebec Remparts at No. 7. The Victoriaville Tigres were an honourable mention.

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