| Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs |
Forward Alexander Donovan, who was originally slated to begin his time at the University of Denver in the fall, will return to Saint John for a second season with the Sea Dogs.
Donovan, who turned 19 earlier this month, recorded 25 goals and 28 assists in 63 regular season games, finishing second on the team in goals and third in points. He added a goal and an assist in four playoff games.
The forward finished just shy of the franchise record for goals in a season by a rookie, which is 26.
“I’m thrilled to return for a chance to do something special,” said Donovan in a news release. “The opportunity to be back with this group is exciting, and there’s unfinished business. See you soon, Saint John.”
The Connecticut native signed with the Sea Dogs last June as a free agent.
The announcement isn't overly surprising given that Denver, coming off another national championship, is rarely a program struggling with talent. Donovan likely would have been near the bottom of the team's depth chart in 2026-27, but will instead be a major piece in Saint John.
Getting Donovan back for a second season is huge for the Sea Dogs – and hopefully a good omen as the off-season really starts to get rolling.
