NOTES: Saint John Vito's goaltender Alex Myatt, who spent some time with the Sea Dogs last season, was the backup netminder in this game. He was not on Saint John's updated training camp roster... Nico Laforge had four shots... the Sea Dogs and Titan meet twice more this pre-season: Sept. 11 in Fredericton and Sept. 18 in Lameque, NB... this game, which was originally set to be played in Lameque, was free to attend... the game took an hour and 59 minutes to complete. Bless the pre-season.
