Young added to Sea Dogs roster

A new goaltender has been added to the Saint John Sea Dogs' roster.

19-year-old netminder Eric Young has been added to Saint John's online roster. The team has yet to make an official announcement on the addition.

Young has appeared in 25 games with the BCHL's Coquitlam Express this season, posting a 13-8 record to go along with a 3.32 goals against average and a .890 save percentage. According to the BCHL website, he hasn't played a game since Jan. 3.

Young, who turned 19 on Dec. 30, is in his second season with the Express. He's listed at 6'01" and 180 lbs.

The Mill Bay, BC native was still listed on the Express roster as of Wednesday night. The Express did, however, announce the acquisition of another goaltender on Wednesday. 

The BCHL has had a huge exodus of players since the NCAA rule change. Young does not appear to have an NCAA commitment at this time.

Young did not dress for the Sea Dogs on Wednesday in Blainville-Boisbriand. 19-year-old goaltender Cédric Cyr-Dauphinais of the QJHL's Terrebonne Cobras was Justin Robinson's backup.

The Sea Dogs have been in search of a backup for Robinson since the team suddenly released 20-year-old netminder Charles-Edward Gravel on Jan. 19. Robinson has played every game since Gravel's departure.

This move means the Sea Dogs still have an open overage spot on their roster along with both import spots.
