Some News & Notes

Former Sea Dogs forward Stephen MacAulay was one of the players named to the CIS all-star team that will face Canada’s world junior hopefuls in a couple weeks.

The CIS team – which features six players from Atlantic University Sport - will play Team Canada on Dec. 12 and 13 at the MasterCard Centre in Toronto. The two-game set is part of Canada’s selection camp for the World Junior Hockey Championship.

In 15 AUS games with the Saint Mary’s Huskies this season, MacAulay has six goals and eight assists. This is his third season with the Huskies – this year’s University Cup hosts.

The 23-year-old spent four-and-a-half seasons with Saint John from 2008 to 2013.

Jordan Murray will represent UNB at the event. Meanwhile, Sea Dogs defenseman Thomas Chabot will play with Team Canada.
