After almost a week off, the Saint John Sea Dogs return
to action tomorrow night against the PEI Rocket. Game time is 7:30pm at Harbour Station.
Tomorrow’s game is the annual “Pink in the Rink” night
where the Sea Dogs will be wearing pink jerseys in support of breast cancer
research. The jerseys will be raffled off after the game. Tickets for the
raffle are available now in the Sea Dogs office and are $5.00 each, 3-for-$10
or 10-for-$20. They are available in the Sea Dogs office, by calling 657-DOGS
(3647) or via email: info@saintjohnseadogs.com.
The Rocket are off to a surprisingly good start (10-4-0-0) so
tomorrow’s game should be a good one... hopefully.
On Sunday, the Sea Dogs host the Chicoutimi Sagueneens at
3pm. The Sags and Dogs met last Friday with Saint John winning 4-3 in a
shootout.
LEADERS
After 13 games, captain Jonathan Huberdeau is still leading
the way for Saint John offensively. He has a team high 10 goals and 18 points
in 13 contests. Ryan Tesink is second with 13 points in 13 matches.
In net, Sebastien Auger’s numbers have come back down to
earth a bit but he is still near the top half of the league in goals against
average (11th – 3.12) and save percentage (9th – 0.906).
JURCO
Turns out former Sea Dogs forward Tomas Jurco just missed
the cut for Hockey’s Future latest Top 50 prospect list.
“In Jurco's case, the talented lineup in Saint John of
the QMJHL has made it difficult to make an accurate assessment of his skill
level,” writes HF. “A slick puckhandler with top-six upside, he will have a
chance to step out from the shadow of the vaunted Sea Dogs offense as he makes
his pro debut with Grand Rapids in 2012-13. Improving his defensive game and
play away from the puck will be essential to Jurco's success with the Detroit
organization.”
Jurco has one goal in four games with the Griffins this
season.
COACHING
The Sea Dogs are helping out with a coaching development
thing on November 24. The details on that can be found here.
CUOMO
If you missed the Marcus Cuomo article in today’s
Telegraph-Journal, the St. John’s Privateers Major Midget Hockey Club website
has the whole thing.
AEROS
Hockey Wilderness has a great article on the Houston
Aeros who, of course, feature Charlie Coyle and Zack Phillips.
"He's got a big body, he's strong, and he is
smart," said Aeros head coach John Torchetti. "He just keeps his game
really simple, and you wouldn't even know he is on our team because he doesn't
say much. But he just goes about his business. He understands wall play and
down low he is tough to get the puck off because of his size."
Coyle has two goals and an assist in five AHL games while
Phillips has a goal and assist in four games.
BEAULIEU
The Montreal Gazette had an article on the Hamilton
Bulldogs today.
"(Nathan) Beaulieu has been working hard and he
wants to learn," Bulldogs head coach Sylvain Lefebvre said.
Beaulieu has been held pointless in his first four AHL
games.
FOURNIER
Sea Dogs goaltender Alex Fournier got some new gear apparently.
He tweeted this picture today.
