Sea Dogs Release Training Camp Roster

SAINT JOHN – The Sea Dogs have finally released their 2013 Training Camp roster.

There are not too many surprises on this year’s camp roster. One notable absence is Andreas Tsogkas who, according to a Tweet from the Sea Dogs, will be sticking in Ontario this season. Tsogkas would have been an overager on the club which complicated things.

The roster also confirms that import Jakub Izacky will not be returning to the club. According to Elite Prospects he will play for HC Trinec in the Czech Republic.

Of course, this year’s camp will be highlighted by Saint John’s 2013 draft class. Sea Dogs fans will get their first look at Nathan Noel, Will Thompson, Thomas Chabot, Joey Richard, and many others this week.

It’s interesting to see goaltender Joel Daccord on the list of those attending. A Massachusetts native, Daccord was an 11^th-round pick of Saint John in June’s draft and at least one scout already has him pegged as a NCAA Division 1 netminder. Will he stick around and lose his NCAA eligibility is the big question.

Some notable free agent invites include Mike Hoffman’s younger brother, Tyler. Saint John natives Johnny Erbs and Riley Craft, both of whom spent time with the Woodstock Slammers last year, will also be attending.

Here is the full camp roster (in a very messy list!):
