| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
This is the first season where CHL players are eligible to play NCAA hockey. Seven former Sea Dogs are poised to play college hockey south of the border, including three players – Nate Tivey, Matteo Mann and Charles-Edward Gravel – who played for the team just last season.
Here's the full list (remember, we're tracking NCAA commitments here).
Matteo Mann - Colorado College (NCHC)Noah Reinhart - Michigan Tech (CCHA)Nate Tivey - Quinnipiac (ECAC)Charles-Edward Gravel - Mercyhurst (Atlantic Hockey)Kale McCallum - Providence (Hockey East)Cam MacDonald - New Hampshire (Hockey East)Charles Savoie - Lindenwood (Independent)
To open the season on Friday, Mann and Colorado College will host UConn; Noah Reinhart and Michigan Tech visit Minnesota; Tivey and Quinnipiac take on Boston College; Gravel and Mercyhurst visit Michigan; Kale McCallum and Providence host Simon Fraser in an exhibition contest; Cam MacDonald and UNH will take part in a scrimmage with Maine in Brunswick; and Charles Savoie and Lindenwood host Wisconsin.
All eyes will be on the NCHC this weekend with Arizona State hosting Gavin McKenna and Penn State for back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. Friday's game will be available on YouTube.
It will be fascinating to track these players throughout the season and see how the adjustment goes, especially for some of the older players like McCallum and MacDonald.
Of note, Lindenwood and Atlantic Hockey home games can be streamed through FloHockey.

Let's not forget Rothesay's own Sam Oliver, who is now with UNH. From the game report, " BRUNSWICK, Maine – Freshman forward Sam Oliver (Saint John, New Brunswick) and junior alternate captain Marty Lavins (Riga, Latvia) each scored for the Wildcats as the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team tied No. 7 Maine, 2-2, on Friday evening in front of a sold out crowd at Sidney J. Watson Arena on the campus of Bowdoin College in a preseason Border Battle presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. The 'Cats took a 1-0 lead at 6:04 of the first period when Oliver sent a wrister from the faceoff circle to the back of the net for the power play goal. Freshman defenseman Nick De Angelis (King City, Ontario) and senior alternate captain Cy LeClerc (Brentwood, N.H.) each posted an assist on the goal."
