A few other players have been added to the Saint John Sea Dogs' online pre-season roster.

Forwards Max Donatelli and Bryce Cunningham along with defenseman Louis Métivier have all been added. They join an already healthy group of free agents that were previously added to Saint John's roster.

Donatelli, an 18-year-old forward from Rhode Island, spent last season at St. George's School – the same US prep program that Sea Dogs draft pick Everett Baldwin played at last year. Listed at just 5'9" and 154 lbs, Donatelli recorded 13 goals and 27 assists in 30 games.

Cunningham, a 16-year-old forward, was the first player to receive an invitation to Sea Dogs training camp after being named the MVP of the inaugural Dog Bowl back in February, helping Sussex High School win the tournament. Cunningham played 34 games with the Saint John Vito's in 2023-24, recording a goal and an assist.

Métivier, a 17-year-old defenseman from Matane, QC, registered two goals and four assists in 19 games with the under-18 Collège Notre-Dame Albatros last season. He also posted two goals and four assists with the under-17 Bas St-Laurent Albatros. He's listed at 6'2" and 170 lbs.

Sea Dogs training camp will presumably start the weekend of Aug. 16 ahead of the team's first pre-season game on Aug. 19. Saint John will play five pre-season games with three of them taking place between Aug. 19-22 – all of which will be against the Moncton Wildcats.

The Sea Dogs will hold a development camp this weekend in Quispamsis but the roster does not include any free agents.
