Joseph was injured in game five of the Sea Dogs’ first round playoff series against Bathurst, getting cut by a skate blade. The forward required surgery and missed the remainder of the post-season.

The 19-year-old had a great regular season, recording 33 goals and 40 assists in 58 games. He added another five goals and two assists in the playoffs before getting hurt.
