The Sea Dogs will host the Charlottetown Islanders at St. Stephen's Garcelon Civic Center in the first half of a home-and-home between the two teams. Game time is 7 p.m.
It's been five years since the Sea Dogs last played a pre-season game in St. Stephen. On Aug. 23, 2019, Josh Lawrence had a pair of assists while Jeremie Poirier and Nicolas Guay both scored in a 4-2 loss to the Halifax Mooseheads.
While it's not a true home game for the Sea Dogs, the home team typically dresses a respectable lineup – or at least dresses their top young players – for their first home pre-season game. We'll see what Saint John plans to do later today.
