Heroux called up again

The Saint John Sea Dogs have made a roster addition ahead of a busy weekend.

The Sea Dogs announced Thursday they've recalled 16-year-old forward Nolann Héroux from the Saint-Eustache Vikings of the Quebec under-18 circuit. It's the second time Héroux has been called up to the Sea Dogs this season.

Héroux was selected 10th overall by Saint John in this year's QMJHL Entry Draft. Listed at 5'9" and 159 lbs, the forward showed signs of promise in his previous stint with the Sea Dogs and recorded two assists.

The Montreal native has 14 goals and 17 assists in 22 games with the Vikings this season. Saint-Eustache doesn't have any games scheduled until Wednesday.

The Sea Dogs have a packed weekend ahead so it certainly doesn't hurt to have another body join the club. Saint John is set to play a three-a-three, hosting the Charlottetown Islanders on Friday and then the Cape Breton Eagles on both Saturday and Sunday. The Sunday game will be played in Fredericton.

Saint John also added 20-year-old forward Justin Gendron this week, completing a trade with the Baie-Comeau Drakkar. The Sea Dogs had been a forward short since overager Natan Éthier left for the BCHL.

The club posted video of Gendron practicing on Thursday, so it certainly looks like he'll debut this weekend.
The Sea Dogs were without forwards William Yared and Olivers Murnieks last weekend due to injuries or sickness.
