Scanzano joins first round picks William Yared and Dylan Rozzi as signings officially announced by the Sea Dogs this week. All three played together with the Lac St-Louis Lions last season.
Scanzano was selected in the second round, 26th overall by Saint John in June's QMJHL Entry Draft. The 6'3", 201 lbs defenseman had six assists in 41 games with the Lions last year. The year before, he led all defensemen in the Quebec under-15 league with 11 goals and 25 assists in 29 games.

“We love Cruz’s attitude and drive. He’s very enthusiastic and a team-first guy,” said Sea Dogs general manager Anthony Stella in a news release. “We’re excited to see how he progresses in his development and the player he can become.”
Yared, Rozzi and Scanzano will all likely be on this year's Sea Dogs team. Scanzano joins what was already a crowded blue line at training camp with seven returnees – including three 20-year-olds. Some tweaks are no doubt coming here.
