Sea Dogs Top Rankings Again

The Saint John Sea Dogs are ranked No. 1 in the nation again this week. The latest edition of the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings were released this afternoon.

The Sea Dogs played three games this week – all at home – and won each of them by a combined score of 18-6. Saint John defeated Moncton 5-3 last Tuesday, Prince Edward Island 8-1 on Friday, and Acadie-Bathurst 5-2 on Saturday.

Saint John has won 17 straight games and now owns an overall record of 47-14-0-2. They have a five-point lead on the Shawinigan Cataratces in the race for first place.

Other Quebec Major Junior Hockey League teams in the Top 10 this week were the Cataractes at No. 4 and the Quebec Remparts at No. 8. 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.
