Report: Reynolds to sign with Saint John

Sportsnet's Jeff Marek dropped a bomb on Monday morning, reporting that Peter Reynolds has decommitted from Boston College to sign with the Saint John Sea Dogs.

An official announcement could come today.

QMJHL News - Peter Reynolds has de-committed from Boston College and will join the Saint John Sea Dogs. Expect an official announcement as early as today.

Reynolds was ranked as high as 3rd in the 2019 Q draft but fell to SJ at 21 due to college plans.

Reynolds, who turned 17 in January, fell to the Sea Dogs in the second round in last year's QMJHL Entry Draft due to his intentions to play NCAA hockey. He was considered a top prospect for last year's draft by many.

The Fredericton native spent last season with the BCHL's Chilliwack Chiefs, recording just under a point-per-game as a 16-year-old with 14 goals and 33 assists in 53 games. He was scheduled to join Boston College for the 2022-23 season.

The signing is a huge boost for the Sea Dogs who could use some help up front. The team's defensive core is pretty much set for the next couple years, but they could definitely use some more forward depth.

More to come...
