Report: Guay to join UNB

Nicolas Guay is returning to New Brunswick.

According to U Sports insider Victor Findlay, the former Saint John Sea Dogs captain will join the University of New Brunswick Reds for the upcoming 2020-21 season - whenever that actually begins.

Guay spent the first half of his overage season with the Sea Dogs, recording 16 goals and 26 assists in 35 games. He was dealt to the Rimouski Oceanic during the holiday trading period where he went on to record 11 goals and 13 helpers in 27 contests.
Guay was also captain of the Drummondville Voltigeurs for a couple seasons before joining the Sea Dogs. He joins a long list of former CHL captains on the Reds.

UNB, who are coming off an AUS championship and were the top seed at the University Cup before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, could see a lot of turnover this season. Former Sea Dog Stephen Anderson has played his final year of eligibility while Matt Murphy is not expected to return, which UNB Hockey Fans notes. Ex-Dog Oliver Cooper has one year of eligibility remaining but may not return.

Former Sea Dogs who could return to UNB for the 2020-21 campaign include Cooper, Olivier LeBlanc, Samuel Dove-McFalls and Benjamin Gagne.

Guay joins a recruiting class that appears as though it will include two OHL standouts in Austen Keating and Jason Willms, according to Findlay.

Former Sea Dogs forward Robbie Burt, meanwhile, will be joining the OUA's Windsor Lancers. Burt, who spent the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons in Saint John, recorded 28 goals and 12 assists in 45 games with the MHL's Amherst Ramblers this past season.
