Development camp making a return

The Saint John Sea Dogs will be hosting a development camp this weekend at the Quispamsis qplex.

The camp roster, which the Sea Dogs released on Thursday afternoon, includes all three of the team's second-round picks in this year's QMJHL Entry Draft: forward Egan Beveridge and defensemen Olivier Duhamel and Benjamin Amyot.

Along with Beveridge, Saint John's other two 2023 American selections, defenseman Jeremy Poirier and forward Daniel Daley, are among the invites as well.

Here's a look at the full roster:

Forwards
Alexis Beaudoin (2023 - 7th round)
Benjamin Beaudry (2022 - 9th round)
Campbell MacIntyre (2022 - 14th round)
Egan Beveridge (2023 - 2nd round)
Daniel Daley (2023 - US 2nd round)
Jacob Beaulieu (2022 - 7th round)
Reid Calder (2022 - 7th round)

Defensemen
Arnaud Tardif (2023 - 11th round)
Benjamin Amyot (2023 - 2nd round)
Elie Warren (trade)
Giuliano Caputo (2023 - 13th round)
Jeremy Poirier (2023 - US 1st round)
Jeremie Richard (2022 - 3rd round)
Matthew MacLean (2023 - 11th round)
Olivier Duhamel (2023 - 2nd round)
Tomas Lulic (2023 - 13th round)

Goaltenders
Charles-Antoine Girard (2022 - 10th round)
Kyan Labbe (2023 - 4th round)

Forward Jacob Beaulieu and defenseman Jeremie Richard spent the 2022-23 season with the Sea Dogs. Reid Calder, meanwhile, appeared in nine games.

2023 draft picks not included on the roster are defenseman Julien Bonnet, who was ranked 43rd by Central Scouting but slid to the seventh round, and goaltender Samuel Doyon-Cataquiz, who presumably has college hockey intentions.

The camp begins Saturday at the qplex and concludes on Sunday.
Development camps like this are popular in the OHL and WHL but rare in the QMJHL. The Sea Dogs have held them a few times in the past, lining up with the team's hall of fame induction ceremony.
