Dogs make first roster moves of camp

The Saint John Sea Dogs' training camp roster has been reduced by nine.

The team announced their first round of roster moves on Monday evening. Three players were reassigned while six others left after 48 hours to maintain college hockey eligibility.

The players no longer at camp are listed below. The * indicates the players who left after 48 hours.

Owen Arnold

Frederick Bourque

Joshua Henry*

Matas Janulis*

John Lumsden*

There aren't any surprises here. Karolis Janulis, Battaglia, Arnold and Lumsden were all free agent invites. Chery and Bourque were both 2024 draft picks who were long shots to make the team while Henry was always believed to be a player who would keep his college eligibility open. Matas Janulis and Daley are both American, so it's not a surprise to see them depart after 48 hours.

The team begins pre-season play on Tuesday night in St. Stephen, hosting the Charlottetown Islanders at 7 p.m.
