Up next for the Sea Dogs is a Friday night contest in
Charlottetown against the Islanders. Game time is 7pm at Eastlink Centre.
Two of Saint John’s seven wins this season have come
against the Islanders. Meanwhile, Charlottetown has lost eight straight games
heading into their game on Wednesday night against the Moncton Wildcats.
The Sea Dogs are also in action on Sunday afternoon in
Moncton. The Port City squad wraps up their first half schedule with games in
Sydney on December 20th and 21st.
DESERRES
Former Sea Dogs goaltender Jacob DeSerres (pictured) has been named
the WHL men's hockey Graduate of the Month for November.
DeSerres has helped the University of Calgary Dinos enter
the Christmas break as the top team in the CIS Men’s Hockey Top 10 Rankings.
They sit first overall in the Canada West standings with a 15-0-1 record and have
allowed just 25 goals in 16 games.
DeSerres, who helped Saint John win the Memorial Cup in
2011, has the league’s best goals against average (1.50), best save percentage
(0.941), and most wins (9). He is also tied for the league lead in shutouts
with three.
"Jacob had an exceptional month of November and was
instrumental in the Dinos having a 7-0-1 record," said Dinos head coach
Mark Howell in a release. "He stepped up when Lazaruk got hurt and carried
the load in some big games and shone on every occasion. His game was in control
throughout each game and created confidence for his team."
CRAIG’S LIST
Sea Dogs defenseman Olivier LeBlanc was ranked 68th
in Craig Button’s latest rankings for the 2014 NHL Draft. Button has plenty of
other QMJHL players ranked around there but LeBlanc was the only Sea Dog to make
the list.
LeBlanc sits fourth in Saint John scoring with five goals
and 17 assists for 22 points in 32 games. All five of his goals have been
scored on the power play.
MOVEMBER
The Sea Dogs announced this afternoon that the team
raised a total of $10,526 during the MOvember campaign, which was the second-highest
amount collected by a CHL team.
Defenseman Michael Abbott led all CHL players in
donations with $5,705.46.
"As an organization, we're excited to be able to
make a sizable contribution to MOvember," said Sea Dogs President Wayne
Long in a release. "Our players were eager to take part. Many thanks to
our fans, friends and families for giving to a great cause."
