Sunday Links

Here are a few links for you to enjoy on the final Sunday of January.

The first comes from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review which has a brief article on former Saint John Sea Dogs captain Alex Grant who has been on fire in the American Hockey League of late. The defenseman has three goals and 19 assists in 31 games with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins this year.

The second comes from the Wheeling newspaper “The Intelligencer” which has a column on former Sea Dogs forward Nick Petersen and his hopes of getting noticed by the Pittsburgh Penguins while playing in the East Coast Hockey League. Petersen is making the most of his demotion to the ECHL.

''I've been injured a lot this year and I definitely want to come down here and get my game back,'' Petersen told the newspaper. ''I want to have fun playing hockey.”

Lastly, according to the Sea Dogs website, Sea Dogs players will be at the new BMO branch at 45 Hubert Street Monday from 5 to 7 p.m. As part of the bank’s grand opening, and to showcase its new sponsorship of the Canadian Hockey League, the branch is hosting an “Ultimate Fan” competition.

The first 100 people to register on site will be entered in a trivia contest to prove who knows their favourite junior hockey team the best. The winner will be entered into a draw, along with winners from 40 other communities, to win a grand prize of a trip for two to the 2012 MasterCard Memorial Cup in Shawinigan, Que.

Saint John hosts the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada today at 3pm at Harbour Station. If you can't make, you can follow our live blog.

  1. This is a smart blog. I mean it. You have so much knowledge about this issue, and so much passion. You also know how to make people rally behind it, obviously from the responses. Youve got a design here thats not too flashy, but makes a statement as big as what youre saying. Great job, indeed. Agen Bola

  2. Hrmm that was weird, my comment got eaten. Anyway I wanted to say that it's nice to know that someone else also mentioned this as I had trouble finding the same info elsewhere. This was the first place that told me the answer. Thanks. Curly Hairstyles
