Pre-season schedule released

The Saint John Sea Dogs will play their first pre-season game of the COVID-19 era on Sept. 1 at TD Station.

The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League unveiled its 2020 exhibition schedule on Tuesday and, other than it starting and ending later than usual, looks pretty normal.

The Sea Dogs will play seven pre-season contests - two against Bathurst, two against Halifax, two against Cape Breton and one against Moncton. Saint John played seven pre-season games last year as well - but none of them took place at TD Station. All of Saint John's home games will be played in their usual home this time around.

Here's a look at Saint John's schedule:

Tuesday, Sept. 1 vs Bathurst - 7 p.m. at TD Station
Thursday, Sept. 3 at Bathurst - 7 p.m. at KC Irving Regional Centre
Saturday, Sept. 5 at Halifax - 4 p.m. at RBC Centre
Sunday, Sept. 13 vs Halifax - 3 p.m. at TD Station
Friday, Sept. 18 at Cape Breton - 7 p.m. at Centre 200
Saturday, Sept. 19 at Cape Breton - 1 p.m. at Centre 200
Friday, Sept. 25 vs Moncton - 7 p.m. at TD Station

The Sea Dogs have not released details on if fans will be able to attend home pre-season games. Most teams - including the Wildcats and Mooseheads - have said fans will not be allowed to attend training camp of pre-season contests. Several teams have said home pre-season games will be broadcast on YouTube.

The QMJHL's regular season schedule has not yet been released. The Sea Dogs have said, however, that their home opener will take place on Saturday, Oct. 3.

QMJHL teams are expected to begin training camps on Aug. 30.
