The Saint John Sea Dogs are reportedly adding a forward to their roster.
The L'Original, Ont. native did not play last season due to the pandemic.
According to JF Plante of Le Droit, 19-year-old forward Yanic Crete is set to join the team.
Yanic Crête de L’Orignal va poursuivre sa carrière dans la @CHLHockey. L’attaquant de 19 ans passe des @Ottawa67sHockey aux @SJSeaDogs. Chance de jouer au tournoi de la Coupe Memorial.

Crete retweeted Plante's tweet, which would seem to confirm the news.
Crete spent the 2019-20 season with the OHL's Ottawa 67's where he recorded seven goals and three assists in 41 games. In 2018-19, Crete recorded two assists in 14 games with the 67's along with 13 goals and 15 assists in 48 games withe CCHL's Hawkesbury Hawks.

Crete was a third-round pick of Ottawa in the 2018 OHL Draft.
Elite Prospects has Crete listed at 6'1" and 179 lbs.
If Crete is with the Sea Dogs to stay, that likely means one of the bottom four forwards - Cole Foston, Adam Bowness, Carter McCluskey and Nico Laforge - will be sent down at some point. Laforge, it's believed, couldn't be sent down until Christmas due to his age.
