The Saint John Sea Dogs released eight players from their
training camp roster this weekend.
Yesterday, before the Sea Dogs’ pre-season game against
the Halifax Mooseheads, the team announced that forwards Chris Sarault and
Francis Theriault had been released.
Sarault, a 17-year old who was drafted in the eighth
round by Saint John in the 2013 QMJHL Entry Draft, played in Colorado last
season. Theriault, 17, played with the MHL’s Campbellton Tigers last season and was a 13th
round pick of the Dogs in this year’s draft.
Today, the team announced six additional cuts. Goaltender
Christopher Smith; defensemen Sheehan Kirkwood and Louis-Philip Fortin; and
forwards Cody Grant, Declan Smith, and Ryan Kenny have all been released from
the team’s training camp roster.
Smith was a fifth-round pick of the Dogs in the 2013
QMJHL Draft and played in one game with the club last season. Kirkwood was
signed as a free agent and played in three games with the Dogs in
2013-14. Fortin was acquired from the Quebec Remparts in the Alexander McQuaid
trade. Grant, Smith, and Kenny were all selected by Saint John in this year’s
Entry Draft.
30 players remain on Saint John’s training camp roster –
three goaltenders, nine defensemen, and 18 forwards.
The Sea Dogs do not return to pre-season action until
September 5 when they host the Charlottetown Islanders.
