SAINT JOHN – The Saint John Sea Dogs play their first
three-in-three of the season beginning tomorrow night in Halifax.
The Mooseheads host the Sea Dogs tomorrow night at 7pm at
the Halifax Metro Centre for their ‘Pink In The Rink’ game. The Moose will be
wearing pick jerseys and the match will be played on pick ice.
It’s the first meeting of the season between Halifax and
Saint John. The Sea Dogs will get their first look at super rookie Nathan
MacKinnon who sits third in first-year scoring with five goals and 14 assists
in 12 games.
The Mooseheads are one of the hottest teams in the league
at the moment having won their last five games. They have a record of 8-4-0-0
and sit second in the Maritimes Division.
On Saturday, the PEI Rocket travel to Saint John to face
the Sea Dogs at 7pm at Harbour Station. Like the Mooseheads on Friday, the Sea
Dogs will be wearing pick jerseys in support of breast cancer research.
The Rocket sit last dead-last in both the Maritimes
Division and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with a record of 4-8-1-1
for 10 points. The Sea Dogs beat the Rocket 5-3 on September 18 at Harbour
Station without the likes of Jonathan Huberdeau, Zack Phillips, Nathan
Beaulieu, Tomas Jurco, Charles-Olivier Roussel and Mathieu Corbeil. Danick Gauthier
had a hat trick in that game.
Saint John will host another super rookie on Sunday
afternoon at the Station as Mikhail Grigorenko and the Quebec Remparts come to town.
Grigorenko, the second overall pick in this past summer’s Canadian Hockey
League Import Draft, leads all QMJHL rookies in scoring with 10 goals and 11
assists in 13 games.
International Scouting Services named Grigorenko theNo. 2 prospect for the upcoming National Hockey League Entry Draft in their
October rankings.
Quebec enters play this weekend as the No. 6 ranked team
in the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings. Their record of 9-2-1-1 is good for
second in the Telus West Division and fourth overall in the league.
