Sea Dogs returning to St. Stephen

It appears the Saint John Sea Dogs are returning to St. Stephen this summer.

According to a Facebook event created by the Municipal District of St. Stephen and the Garcelon Civic Center, the Sea Dogs will play a pre-season game in the town on Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m.

No opponent or further details were included. 

The Sea Dogs began pre-season play in St. Stephen on Aug. 20 last year, defeating the Charlottetown Islanders 4-1 in front of 1,239 fans – which was either a sell out or very close to it.

Last year's trip to St. Stephen was the Sea Dogs' first since the 2019 pre-season.

Saint John's full pre-season and regular season schedule will presumably be announced over the next month or two.

The Sea Dogs played six pre-season games last year with three being classified as home games and three as away. Saint John played home games in St. Stephen, Fredericton's Aitken Centre and TD Station.
