Three more players have confirmed that they will be
taking part in the Wallace McCain Memorial Alumni Game.
The Sea Dogs Foundation and Children's Wish Foundation
announced via press release today that defensemen Yann Sauve and Eric Gelinas
along with goaltender Robert Mayer have been added to the roster.
Sauve, the first overall pick in the 2006 Quebec Major
Junior Hockey League Entry Draft, played five games with the Vancouver Canucks
in 2010-11. A second-round pick of Vancouver in the 2008 National Hockey League
Draft, Sauve spent this past season with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves and the
ECHL’s Kalamazoo Wings.
The Sea Dogs acquired Gelinas in a deal during the
holiday trading period in 2010-11. It worked out well as Gelinas helped the Sea
Dogs win the 2011 President Cup and Memorial Cup. A second-round pick of the
New Jersey Devils in 2009, Gelinas made his NHL debut this past season.
Mayer just signed a two-year extension with the Montreal
Canadiens. Although he has not seen NHL action, he has been a backup. Mayer has spent his entire pro career in the Canadiens system, mostly with the AHL’s
Hamilton Bulldogs.
The Inaugural Wallace McCain Memorial Alumni Weekend will
be held from Friday, August 23rd to Sunday, August 25th. The game will take
place at Harbour Station at 1:30 PM on Saturday, August 24th featuring
former Saint John Sea Dogs vs. UNB Varsity Reds alumni. Ticket packages are on
sale now.
Today’s press release also named some of the players who
will be suiting up for the V-Reds. Their roster will include former Sea Dogs
goaltender Travis Fullerton, Craig Soke, Dion Campbell, Kyle Werner, Ryan
Burgoyne, Ryan Seymour, Stacy Smallman, Jordan Clendenning, Kevin Werner, Chad
Denny, and Steve Pearce.
