Blues Send Tesink Back To The Q

The St. Louis Blues announced today that they have sent Ryan Tesink back to the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Tesink will rejoin the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada, the team Saint John traded him to in exchange for their own first-round pick last winter. The Sea Dogs selected Nathan Noel with the pick.

The Saint John native will be an overager with the Armada this year. He only played six regular season and four playoff games with the club last season due to a controversial knee injury.

Tesink was a sixth-round pick of the Blues in the 2011 NHL Draft.

The Sea Dogs travel to Blainville-Boisbriand on January 12^th and host the Armada on February 9^th.

Some other notes on this fine Thursday night:

• Former Sea Dogs Stephen MacAulay, Robert Mayer, and Pierre Durepos are all on the Hamilton Bulldogs training camp roster.
• Sea Dogs home opener is on Saturday against Bathurst. 7pm. Be there.
• The Sea Dogs Season Ticket BBQ will take place immediately following Sunday’s game against Charlottetown. It will take place in the East End parking lot and is in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation. At this event, Season Ticket Holders will have the opportunity to meet the 2013-14 Sea Dogs.
• Pilot episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine was better than I expected.
