Sea Dogs scheduled to return March 9

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

The Saint John Sea Dogs will play their first Quebec Major Junior Hockey League game in nearly four months next Tuesday (fingers crossed) when they visit the Acadie-Bathurst Titan.

The Sea Dogs have not played since Nov. 18 due to COVID-19 restrictions limiting sporting events and travel throughout New Brunswick. Tuesday's contest will be the first of eight games the team is scheduled to play in March.

Saint John will also be in action on Saturday, March 13 in Moncton and at home on Sunday, March 14 against Bathurst.

Here's a look at Saint John's schedule, which features four home and four away games:

Tuesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. at Bathurst

Saturday, March 13 at 7 p.m. at Moncton

Sunday, March 14 at 3 p.m. vs Bathurst

Wednesday, March 17 at 7 p.m. vs Moncton

Friday, March 19 at 7 p.m. at Bathurst

Sunday, March 21 at 3 p.m. vs Moncton

Friday, March 26 at 7 p.m. at Moncton

Saturday, March 27 at 7 p.m. vs Bathurst

The Sea Dogs, Wildcats and Titan are the only three Maritimes Division teams currently permitted to play. The Charlottetown Islanders are unable to play games until at least March 14 while the Halifax Mooseheads are out of action until at least March 26.

Saint John's news release notes that the "schedule is subject to change depending on Nova Scotia and PEI’s evolving situation as some games can be postponed and/or added to the schedule should they obtain Public Health approval."

The Sea Dogs have played just 15 games this season. Even if all eight of these games are able to go ahead as planned, Saint John will still have six fewer games under their belts than the Mooseheads, who have played a division-leading 29.

Saint John is 1-1-1-0 against Bathurst this season and 2-2-0-0 against Moncton. They are 0-4-2-1 on the road.
