The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League has officially postponed Friday's Saint John Sea Dogs game in Charlottetown.

The Sea Dogs were scheduled to visit the Islanders for the club's home opener on Friday evening at Eastlink Centre. But with Prince Edward Island continuing to recover from Hurricane Fiona, the game has been postponed to Wednesday, Nov. 2.

Many parts of PEI are still without power. Power has been restored at Eastlink Centre, but the arena lost its ice during the outage. The building is currently reinstalling its ice from scratch.

The Islanders, who have yet to play a regular season game, are scheduled to visit Bathurst on Saturday. The team's first home game will be Oct. 8.

Friday's Cape Breton Eagles home game against the Halifax Mooseheads has also been postponed as the Sydney area continues to recover from Fiona. The Eagles are scheduled to play in Halifax on Saturday and, at this time, will play their first home game on Oct. 5.

Last Friday's postponed Sea Dogs game at TD Station will now take place Sunday, Feb. 12.

Saint John returns to action on Saturday, hosting the Moncton Wildcats at 7 p.m.
