The Sea Dogs are 0-2-2-0 with a tie heading into the final weekend of Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League exhibition play. Those five previous games featured plenty of players who won't be on this year's squad – but this weekend will be a different story with the team's roster pretty much set.
Saint John will host the Moncton Wildcats tonight at Woodstock's AYR Motor Centre before traveling to Charlottetown to face the Islanders tomorrow. Both games have 7 p.m. starts.
Tonight's contest will be just Saint John's second "home" game of the pre-season. The other was on Aug. 20 in St. Stephen where the Wildcats defeated the Sea Dogs 4-1.
This will be the Sea Dogs' first ever exhibition game in Woodstock, which is now home to the NCDC's Slammers. Sea Dogs head coach and general manager Travis Crickard played in 20 games with the Maritime Junior Hockey League's Slammers back in 2006-07.
