More former Sea Dogs are on the move.
Ex-Dogs goaltender Troy Passingham has signed a professional tryout agreement with the Peoria Riverman of the Southern
Professional Hockey League.
Passingham played in two games with
Saint John during the 2007-08 season, posting a 3.02 goals against average and
a .897 save percentage. He eventually moved on to the OHL where he spent time
with the Windsor Spitfires and Sarnia Sting.
The “Monster from Mississauga” has spent
the past five seasons with the Ryerson University Rams, posting some of the best
numbers in school history. In 2015-16, the 25-year-old had a 2.47 GAA
and .933 SV%.
In other alumni news, former Sea Dogs
defenseman Yann Sauve has been signed to a tryout contract by Medvescak Zagrebof the KHL.
“We welcome Yann who’s also looking to
come in and make a good impression that he can be a solid depth defenseman,”
said Medvescak's Sports Director, Aaron Fox, in a news release. “He is a big
strong skating two-way D whose game should translate to Europe.”
Medvescak is coached by former Charlottetown Islanders head coach Gordie Dwyer.
Sauve has been struggling to find a home, spending time with eight different minor league clubs
over the past three seasons. He spent most of the 2015-16 campaign with the
ECHL’s Manchester Monarchs where he posted two goals and 22 assists in 52
games.
The 26-year-old was a second-round pick
of the Vancouver Canucks in the 2008 NHL Draft. He appeared in eight career NHL
contests.
Sauve played in 251 games with Saint
John over four seasons, registering 20 goals and 82 assists. He added six goals
and 14 assists in 39 playoff games.
