Dogs Closing In On 2013-14 Win Total

HALIFAX – The Saint John Sea Dogs improved to 18-6-1-4 on Saturday with a 3-1 road win over the Halifax Mooseheads.

18 wins in 29 games is an impressive total for a team that was expected to be a middle to lower-of-the-pack team. More impressive is that the Sea Dogs are a win away from matching their win total from all of last season.

The Sea Dogs finished 19-44-2-3 last season. Not even at the midway point of this season, they already have 18 wins.

Saint John can match their win total from 2013-14 with a win over the Val-d’Or Foreurs on Sunday afternoon at Harbour Station.

Some other news and notes…
  • The Foreurs were in Bathurst tonight and defeated the Titan 6-3 and recorded 48 shots. They were in Cape Breton on Friday night and fell 4-1.
  • Val-d’Or features former Sea Dogs forward Stephen Anderson who will be making his first appearance at Harbour Station since being traded. He has 11 goals and six assists in 30 games this season.
  • It’s “Christmas at the Station” tomorrow. The annual Teddy Bear Toss will be taking place and Change Bandits will be roaming the stands collecting donations for The Empty Stocking Fund.
  • Willy Palov’s Friday column in the Chronicle Herald discusses the wide-open Maritimes Division.
  • Sea Dogs players and staff raised $3,370 for the Movember 2014 campaign. It's the second-highest amount raised by any team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the fourth-most in the Canadian Hockey League.
