As training camp gets closer, the Saint John Sea Dogs have announced another four free agent invitees.

The team announced Thursday that forwards Alexis Brisson, Mathis Cloutier and Luca Aziz along with defenseman Xavier Delage are all expected to attend training camp, which is set to begin Aug. 18 at TD Station.

Brisson and Cloutier are both overagers with QMJHL experience. Postmedia previously reported on their invites a couple weeks ago.

At this time, the Sea Dogs have five overagers competing for three spots: forwards Brisson, Cloutier and veteran Peter Reynolds along with returning defenseman Jared Cosman and the newly acquired Mathis Gauthier.

The 17-year-old Aziz spent last season with the the Lac St-Louis Lions in the Quebec under-18 circuit where he registered nine goals and 16 points in 42 games. He added one goal in 10 playoff games.

Delage, 19, appeared in 25 QJHL games split between the Princeville Tigers and Cegep Beauce-Appalaches Condors. He also played in 13 games with the Asbestos Nordiks Blades of the Ligue Regionale de Hockey. Delage was a seventh-round pick of the Charlottetown Islanders in the 2020 QMJHL Entry Draft.

A few QMJHL teams have already released their training camp rosters. The Sea Dogs, in recent years anyways, have been one of the final teams to release their camp roster.

Saint John's training camp begins Aug. 18 and the team's first pre-season game is on Tuesday, Aug. 22 against the Charlottetown Islanders.
