Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
- The Athletic confirmed what had been assumed (and I don't think ever publicly stated) what Saint John's plan was at the 2018 QMJHL Entry Draft: draft defensemen and smaller forwards who would a) be in their primes when hosting the Memorial Cup and b) not jump to the NHL early.
- The Sea Dogs have had Charlie Coyle call up NCAA committed players and pitch Saint John to them.
- The Athletic also reported that it was McCain who stopped the Sea Dogs from dealing two first round picks to the Moncton Wildcats for Brandon Gormley during the 2012 trade period. Wheeler writes that McCain now "believes the Sea Dogs would have won the Memorial Cup with Gormley and argues Gormley put the Cataractes, who made the trade when Saint John wouldn’t, over the edge."
LONG LAYOFF

With Saint John losing to Rimouski last night, it's been 12 seasons since a Memorial Cup host team won a league title. That was the 2008 OHL Champion Kitchener Rangers.

The last team to win both a league final and Memorial Cup as the host team was the 2005 London Knights.

^Double overtime
- As mentioned previously, you can sign up for the ticket priority draw now.
- According to a CTV Atlantic report, "preference will be given to Moncton Wildcats and Halifax Mooseheads season ticket holders." This is pretty standard and will presumably be used as a way to boost season ticket sales in both cities.
- The organizers confirmed to Global Maritimes that the two cities had been working on a bid for the past two years - but they expected to be bidding on a tournament to be held later this decade. The 2023 tournament was removed from Russia a few months ago.
- Organizers told Global that “we want to make sure that it is affordable and that it is Maritime-priced.”

- In the Victoriaville newspaper La Nouvelle Union, former Tigres Vincent Sevigny and Nikolas Hurtubise discuss Saint John's first round exit. Hurtubise also discusses the team's move to start Thomas Couture in all five playoff games.
- Le 7e Match has a very critical article on the Sea Dogs losing in the first round.
- Patrick Roy has been named the QMJHL's general manager of the year for the first time in his career. Charlottetown's Jim Hulton and Sherbrooke's Stephane Julien were also nominated.
- The AHL's Stockton Heat, who averaged just 1,713 fans per game this season, are reportedly relocating to the Calgary area in time for next season. This creates a couple big questions: where will they play and what does this mean for the WHL's Calgary Hitmen? The Flames, Heat and Hitmen are all owned by the same organization.
- Yan Kuznetsov and Ryan Francis began their seasons in Stockton. The Heat had the second best record in the AHL during the regular season (45-16-5-2). They begin the Pacific Division final against the Colorado Eagles on Monday.
- Missed this a long time ago, but former Sea Dogs goaltender Jonathan Lemieux will reportedly join the OUA's Concordia University Stingers next season.
