Alumni Week Details Released

The Sea Dogs unveiled details for the 2015 Wallace McCain Memorial Alumni Reunion today.

From the team’s release:

The reunion is scheduled for Saturday, August 8th through Sunday, August 16th. It features two main events sandwiched around the start of Sea Dogs' training camp for the 2015-16 QMJHL season.  

The Sea Dogs will hold an alumni game on Saturday, August 8th, at 2 p.m. at Harbour Station, featuring dozens of players from the franchise's first ten years. Sea Dogs alumni will make up both teams. A silent auction will be held throughout the game.  

Tickets for the alumni game are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 4-14, taxes and fees included. Children 3-and-under are free. Tickets are general admission and will be available at the Harbour Station Box Office on Monday, July 13th.  

A postgame autograph session with alumni will take place at Harbour Station, followed by a reception and live auction at Rocky's Sports Bar beginning at 8 p.m.

The reunion is in support of the Children's Wish Foundation and the Saint John Regional Hospital Auxiliary's Brighten Group.

The team previously held an alumni game in August of 2013 and featured a team made up of former Sea Dogs taking on a UNB Varsity Reds alumni squad. The game was quite popular amongst fans and it was great to see many of the team’s former stars return to Harbour Station. Hopefully many of the fan favourites will be able to make it back again this year.

The rosters for this year's game will be announced at a later date.

The reunion wraps up with the inaugural Sea Dogs Open Water Swim on Sunday, August 16th, at 9 a.m. at the Renforth Wharf Beach in Rothesay. More details on that can be found here.

The team also announced today that training camp will begin on Sunday, August 9th with the arrival of players.
