The Sea Dogs host the Charlottetown Islanders at 7 p.m. at TD Station in what will be the first exhibition match of the year for both clubs. The two teams were separated by just seven points in the standings last season.
The Sea Dogs had 49 players on their training camp roster and have announced just eight cuts, which means we should see quite a few different players in the lineup over the next few days.
The Sea Dogs and Islanders meet again tomorrow night in Pownal, PEI. Saint John then hosts the Acadie-Bathurst Titan on Friday night, which is the unofficial end to the first portion of training camp.
