The Saint John Sea Dogs announced a
number of roster moves on Sunday, including the signing of defenceman Bryson
Michel.
Michel, 16, spent much of last season
with the Canadian International Hockey Academy’s (CIHA) Green Midget AAA team
where he recorded four goals and 12 assists in 43 games. He also registered one
goal in five games with the Brockville Tikis of the Central Canada Hockey
League 2 (CCHL2).
Michel has been attending Sea Dogs
training camp on a tryout basis.
“Bryson is a big, strong left
defenceman,” Sea Dogs head coach Danny Flynn said in a news release. “He’s also
a late-1999 birthday. He’s had a really effective camp for us so far. He has
good size and he’s a good skater. We believe he has the potential to mature
into solid, steady defenceman.”
Michel made his Sea Dogs pre-season debut
on Sunday against the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
Meanwhile, nine players were
released from the team’s camp roster before Sunday's contest. Forwards Nick Fewer, Alex Kealey, Jordan
King and Matthew Palmer; defencemen Thomas Ashe, Simon Elsliger, Mark Kennedy
and Matthew O'Leary; and goaltender Ryan Huestis were all cut.
An updated training camp roster can be
found on the Sea Dogs website.
