Two more Sea Dogs commit to CIS schools

Two more former Sea Dogs are heading to school this fall.

It was announced on Thursday that former Dogs defenseman Braydon Blight has committed to the Laurier Golden Hawks for the 2016-17 CIS season.
Blight, a third-round pick of the Kingston Frontenacs in the 2011 OHL draft, recorded three goals and five assists in 37 games with the Sea Dogs during the 2014-15 season. He was held pointless in five playoff games.

The 21-year-old played with the MHL’s Truro Bearcats last season where he registered nine goals and 17 assists in 45 games.

Laurier begins the OUA regular season on Oct. 6 at Ryerson University. They have a few unique exhibition games before that, visiting Saint Mary’s and Dalhousie on Sept. 23 and 24, respectively, and Ohio State on Oct. 2.

It was also announced on Thursday that former Sea Dogs forward Marcus Cuomo has committed to the StFX X-Men.
"He was a very popular teammate in his time in the QMJHL and we look forward to the energy and grit he will bring to our program," said StFX head coach Brad Peddle in a news release.

Cuomo spent the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons with the Sea Dogs, recording 10 goals and 20 assists in 116 games. He joined the Quebec Remparts for the 2014-15 season. Last year, he played in just eight MHL games with the Amherst Ramblers due to a knee injury.

The X-Men begin the 2016-17 AUS season on Oct. 7 at Dalhousie.
