Kevin Gagne Makes Pro Debut

Former Saint John Sea Dogs defenseman Kevin Gagne made his professional debut last night.

Gagne recorded three shots and a +1 rating as he helped the Norfolk Admirals defeat the Worcester Sharks 4-3 last night in American Hockey League action.

The Admirals, the AHL affiliate of the Anaheim Ducks, signed the soon-to-turn-21-year old defenseman to an amateur tryout agreement on April 2. Gagne signed a three-year, entry-level deal with the Ducks back in March.

Norfolk currently sits eighth in the AHL’s Eastern Conference with a 36-30-4-1 record. The Admirals have five games remaining this season including another matchup with the Sharks tonight in Worcester.

Gagne was able to join the Admirals after his Rimouski Oceanic were upset in the first-round of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoffs by the Gatineau Olympiques. He registered a goal and an assist in six post-season games.
