Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

DRUMMONDVILLE, QC - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to close out their three-game Quebec road trip with a win today.

The Sea Dogs visit the Drummondville Voltigeurs today in what will be the club's third game in three days. It's been a challenging road trip so far for Saint John, who fell 7-3 in Gatineau on Friday and trailed until the third period in a 3-1 win in Boisbriand yesterday.

Yesterday's victory ended a three-game losing streak for Saint John.

This will be the second and final meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Voltigeurs. Saint John edged Drummondville 4-3 in a shootout on Thanksgiving Monday. That game ended a stretch of nine straight road games to open the season for the Volts.

Today's game will be just the fourth on home ice for Drummondville. They are 2-1-0-0 so far.

Game time is 5 p.m. Atlantic.

The Foreurs will be playing their third game in three days and fourth in five. They've outscored opponents 16-4 on this Maritimes road trip.

Shane Wilkie/Cape Breton Eagles

SAINT JOHN - Two teams that have been heading in opposite directions of late collide today at TD Station.

The Saint John Sea Dogs, who have won five straight, host the Cape Breton Eagles, losers of three straight, this afternoon at 4 p.m. Both teams were expected to be amongst the best in the QMJHL this season but have gotten off to very different starts.

This will already be the third meeting of the season between the Sea Dogs and Eagles. Both of the previous two games required extra time.

Both teams should be rested and ready for this big tilt. The Eagles haven't played since Monday in Sherbrooke while the Sea Dogs have been off since hosting the Drummondville Voltigeurs on Monday.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 6-1-1-1 for 14 points (third Eastern/fourth QMJHL) while the Eagles are 2-3-1-3 for eight points (ninth Eastern/14th QMJHL).

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to carry their winning ways into a Thanksgiving Monday afternoon tilt.

The Sea Dogs welcome the Drummondville Voltigeurs to TD Station this afternoon. Saint John carries a four-game winning streak into the contest, which was extended following a 4-3 win over the Charlottetown Islanders on Saturday.

Saint John has also collected a least a point in six straight games.

The Voltigeurs have a difficult schedule to start the year, playing their first nine games on the road. They are 2-5-0-1 so far and this will be their final road game before playing their home opener on Friday.

Game time today is 3 p.m.

Noah Murray/Charlottetown Islanders

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs' homestand continues this afternoon at TD Station.

After posting a 6-3 win over the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies last night, the Sea Dogs host the Charlottetown Islanders today at 4 p.m. This is the third game of a stretch of six straight home contests for Saint John.

This is the first meeting of the year between the Sea Dogs and Islanders – meaning this will be the first time Jim Hulton will coach against his old club.

Charlottetown was expected to have a down year but have been putting up a fight so far this season. They are an impressive 5-2-2-0, which includes a 5-1 home win over the Drummondville Voltigeurs last night.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 4-1-1-1 for 10 points (sixth Eastern/ninth QMJHL) while the Islanders are 5-2-2-0 for 12 points (second Eastern/fourth QMJHL).

Rouyn-Noranda Huskies

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will get their first taste of the Western Conference tonight at TD Station.

The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies – who will be playing the fourth game of a six-game Atlantic road trip – make their lone appearance of the regular season at TD Station tonight. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Sea Dogs have only played Atlantic based teams up until this point. Saint John is riding a two-game winning streak and have collected points in four straight.

Goaltender Samuel Meloche will presumably get the start for Saint John tonight. This will be the first time the netminder faces his old club.

Game Day 6: vs Mooseheads

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs will try to win their first home game of the season this afternoon at TD Station.

The Sea Dogs are coming off a 4-3 shootout victory in Cape Breton on Friday, improving their road record to 2-1-0-0 this season. At home though, the Sea Dogs are winless so far, sporting a 0-0-1-1 record.

Saint John will look to improve upon that record when they host the Halifax Mooseheads at 3 p.m.

The Mooseheads have a nearly identical record to the Sea Dogs'. Halifax is coming off a 4-3 overtime loss in Moncton on Friday, a loss that saw them blow 1-0 and 2-1 leads.

This is the first meeting of the regular season between the Sea Dogs and Mooseheads.

Game Day 5: at Cape Breton

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SYDNEY, NS - The Saint John Sea Dogs will look to get some revenge on the Cape Breton Eagles tonight.

The Sea Dogs blew a 3-0 lead in a 5-4 overtime loss to the Eagles on Saturday at TD Station. It looked as the Sea Dogs, who had a strong start, faded as the game went along. We'll see how they fare tonight with fresh legs.

This will be Saint John's third road game of the season. They split a pair of games in Newfoundland during opening weekend.

Both the Sea Dogs and Eagles remain in the CHL Top-10, making this one of the league's biggest matchups of the week. Hopefully it can live up to the hype.

Game time tonight is 7 p.m. at Centre 200.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 1-1-1-1 for four points (seventh Eastern/13th QMJHL) while the Eagles are 1-1-0-2 for four points (eighth Eastern/14th QMJHL).

Last games: The Sea Dogs and Eagles met last Saturday at TD Station where Cape Breton posted a 5-4 overtime win. Reece Peitzsche, Liam Lefebvre, Eliot Litalien, Elias Schneider and Jacob Hartlin scored for Cape Breton.

Game Day 4: vs Eagles

JaimeLee Gouthro/Cape Breton Eagles

SAINT JOHN - An early season home-and-home between two of the CHL's top-ranked teams begins today at TD Station.

The Saint John Sea Dogs, ranked seventh in the latest CHL Top-10 rankings, host the Cape Breton Eagles, ranked third, today at 4 p.m. The two teams then battle on Friday night at Sydney's Centre 200.

Both teams will be looking to end early season losing skids today. The Sea Dogs have dropped two straight after falling in a shootout to the Moncton Wildcats last night. The Eagles, meanwhile, are still looking for their first win, starting the year off 0-1-0-2.

It's early, obviously, but this will be a big test for both clubs.

Today also marks the beginning of new Saturday start times for the Sea Dogs. All Saturday home games will begin at 4 p.m. this year at TD Station.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 1-1-0-1 for three points (fifth Eastern/10th QMJHL) while the Eagles are 0-1-0-2 for two points (eighth Eastern/16th QMJHL).

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to the Moncton Wildcats last night at TD Station. Olivier Lemieux, Dylan Rozzi and Alexis Joseph scored for Saint John. Samuel Meloche made 22 stops in the loss. The Eagles are coming off a 4-1 loss in Charlottetown last night. Noah Jettelson scored Cape Breton's lone goal. Lucas Beckman made 21 stops in the loss.

Game Day 3: vs Wildcats

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - The home portion of the Saint John Sea Dogs' schedule begins tonight at TD Station.

The Sea Dogs welcome the Moncton Wildcats in the team's 2026 home opener. Game time is 7 p.m.

Both teams opened the regular season last weekend. Saint John split a pair of contests in Newfoundland while Moncton won road games in Charlottetown and Halifax. Tonight's contest will be the third home opener the Wildcats have played in.

The Wildcats, coming off back-to-back appearances in the league final, have been dominant in Saint John in recent seasons. The Sea Dogs will look to change that this season – especially since Saint John should be icing a stronger team than what we've seen in recent years.

This could be the start of a fun season between Saint John and Moncton.

The Sea Dogs, meanwhile, will also look to be better on home ice as a whole. The team went 11-19-2-0 at TD Station last season, one of the league's worst home records.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: The Sea Dogs are 1-1-0-0 for two points (fourth Eastern/eighth QMJHL) while the Wildcats are 2-0-0-0 for four points (second Eastern/fifth QMJHL).

The Wildcats are coming off a 6-5 overtime win in Halifax on Saturday. Niko Tournas had a hat trick for Moncton; Rian Chudzinski scored twice and Charlie Benigno added a single. Jacoby Weiner made 33 stops in the win.

Game Day 1 & 2: at Newfoundland

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

ST. JOHN'S, NL - The Saint John Sea Dogs open up the 2026-27 Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League regular season this weekend at Mary Brown's Centre.

The Sea Dogs enter the season with a lot of hype around them. They are ranked seventh in the CHL Top-10 pre-season rankings and most predict the team to be a top-four club in the QMJHL. Tonight, the team will start to try and live up to that hype – and they'll do so in a building they struggled in last season.

Saint John went 0-6-2-0 against the Newfoundland Regiment last season, which included going 0-4-0-0 in St. John's. The Sea Dogs and Regiment will play tonight and tomorrow with both games starting at 6:30 p.m. Atlantic.

The Regiment are flying under the radar a bit this season thanks to Atlantic Canada being so loaded with contenders this season. That's a bit dangerous, especially when you consider the likes of Benjamin Veitch, Quinn Norman and Louis-Antoine Denault taking steps forward this season.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

2026-27 regular season records: These are the first games of the regular season for both the Sea Dogs and Regiment.

2026 pre-season records: The Sea Dogs were 2-2-0-0 for four points while the Regiment went 3-2-0-0 for six points.

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 7-3 pre-season loss to the Halifax Mooseheads on Sept. 4. Alexander Donovan, Zachary Morin and Oliver Ozogany scored for Saint John. Samuel Meloche made 19 saves in the loss. The Regiment are coming off a 5-1 pre-season win over the OHL's Saginaw Spirit on Aug. 31. Louis-Francois Belanger scored twice for Newfoundland while Benjamin Veitch, Matthew Frost and Ryan Dwyer added singles. Louis-Antoine Denault made 34 stops in the win.

Pre-Season Game Day 4: vs Mooseheads

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs make their return to TD Station tonight.

While this will officially be Saint John's third home game of the pre-season, it will be their first inside their actual home. The Sea Dogs played "home" games in St. Stephen and Woodstock last week.

Tonight will see the Sea Dogs take on the Halifax Mooseheads for the first time in exhibition play. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Sea Dogs are 2-1-0-0 this pre-season and are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Rimouski Oceanic last Sunday.

Saint John's roster is now down to 24 players following reassignments earlier this week.

Pre-Season Records: Saint John is 2-1-0-0 for four points this pre-season while Halifax is 3-1-0-0 for six points.

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 4-1 loss to the Rimouski Oceanic in Woodstock on Sunday. Jamie Glance scored Saint John's lone goal on a penalty shot.

Mateo Nobert scored twice for Halifax while Daniel Walters added a single. Carson Mertz made 37 stops in the win.

Pre-Season Game Day 3: vs Oceanic

WOODSTOCK, NB - The Saint John Sea Dogs will play their third pre-season game of the week this afternoon at the AYR Motor Centre.

It's the second straight year the Sea Dogs have played a pre-season game in Woodstock. They fell 5-4 to the Moncton Wildcats last year.

This year they'll be facing a different opponent – one they've never faced in pre-season play. The Rimouski Oceanic will make the 3.5 hour drive to Woodstock. It's rare to see Quebec teams facing Atlantic teams in exhibition play, but the Oceanic and Acadie-Bathurst Titan did frequently partner up back in the day.

The Sea Dogs have 30 players remaining on their training camp roster following five reassignments on Saturday. This could be an important game for a number of players as the roster continues to trim down.

Game time today is 4 p.m.

Radio/TV/Stream: None/None/Sea Dogs YouTube

Pre-Season Records: Saint John is 2-0-0-0 for four points this pre-season while Rimouski is 3-0-0-0 for six points.

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 5-4 win over the Moncton Wildcats in Fredericton on Friday. Olivier Groulx, Alexis Joseph, Alexander Donovan, Brock Lyons and Dylan Rozzi all scored.

Edouard Lord and Morgan Blackwood split the win in net.

Pre-Season Game Day 2: at Moncton

FREDERICTON - The Saint John Sea Dogs and Moncton Wildcats are set to meet again.

The two provincial rivals faced off in St. Stephen on Wednesday night with the Sea Dogs skating away with a 4-1 victory. Tonight, the two will meet in the provincial capital as the Wildcats host Saint John at UNB's Aitken Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Sea Dogs played three regular season games at the Aitken Centre last season, losing two of them. Tonight they will be the road team.

Saint John had a pretty strong showing on Wednesday but we'll likely see several lineup changes from both teams. Both squads still have quite a few cuts to make before final rosters are set.

This will be the fourth game of the pre-season for the Wildcats but just the second for the Sea Dogs. These two won't meet again until Saint John's regular season home opener on Sept. 25 at TD Station.

For Moncton, Jacoby Weiner played the first two periods and allowed three goals on 13 shots while Nathan Chenier played the third and allowed a goal on eight shots.

Pre-Season Game Day 1: vs Wildcats

ST. STEPHEN, NB - The Saint John Sea Dogs begin Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League pre-season play tonight against a familiar foe.

The Sea Dogs will host the Moncton Wildcats this evening at St. Stephen's Garcelon Civic Center, the opponent that swept them in the opening round of the QMJHL playoffs last season.

Both teams should look quite a bit different tonight. Both squads are at similar stages of training camp and have several cuts yet to make.

The Wildcats have already played two pre-season games, defeating the Newfoundland Regiment 6-4 last Friday before falling 8-2 to the Charlottetown Islanders on Saturday.

The Sea Dogs and Wildcats met last season in St. Stephen with Moncton posting a 4-1 win.

Game time tonight is 7 p.m.

Playoff Game Day 3 & 4: vs Wildcats

Daniel St Louis/Moncton Wildcats

SAINT JOHN - After a heartbreaking loss in Game 2, the Saint John Sea Dogs will look to rebound on home ice.

The Sea Dogs were up 2-0 entering the final minute of play against the Moncton Wildcats on Saturday at Avenir Centre. Moncton pulled off an improbable comeback, scoring twice in the final minute and then winning in overtime to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven first round playoff series.

The Wildcats will look to take a commanding 3-0 series lead tonight at TD Station. Game 4 is Wednesday, also in Saint John.

It will be interesting to see how the Sea Dogs respond to Saturday's result. Saint John played a great road game against a superior opponent – and it still wasn't quite enough. We'll see if they're motivated by the close game or if it knocked the wind out of their sails.

You have to think the Wildcats will look for a better start tonight. The Sea Dogs have scored first in both games.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/Sea Dogs Audio Network

Playoff Game Day 1 & 2: at Moncton

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

MONCTON - The Saint John Sea Dogs make their return to the playoffs this weekend at Avenir Centre.

The Sea Dogs and Moncton Wildcats will play the first two games of their best-of-seven first round series Friday and Saturday night, respectively. Both games have 7 p.m. starts.

This will be Saint John's first playoff appearance since the 2023-24 season and they have not won a playoff series since the 2017 QMJHL final. Moncton, meanwhile, are looking to repeat as league champions – and they've got a legitimate chance of doing so after posting a 104-point season.

The Wildcats are the heavy favourites to win this series. For the Sea Dogs, this is likely a series where they'll look for small victories. Can they win shifts. Can they win periods. Can they keep these games close. Most importantly, it'll be about gaining some experience for next season.

This is just the second playoff series between the provincial rivals. They last met in the 2010 QMJHL final, which Moncton won in six games.

Stream/TV/Radio: FloHockey/None/None

Series status: These are the first two games of the best-of-seven first round series.

Last games: The Sea Dogs are coming off a 3-2 win in Cape Breton on Saturday. Angelo Fullerton scored a pair of goals while Nolann Héroux added a single. Rafaël Courchesne made 24 saves in the win. The Wildcats are coming off a 6-1 home win over the Charlottetown Islanders on Saturday. Niko Tournas scored twice for Moncton while singles came from Gabe Smith, Caleb Desnoyers, Kuzma Voronin and Preston Lounsbury. Rudy Guimond only faced 16 shots in the win.

Game Day 63 & 64: at Cape Breton

Michael Hawkins/Saint John Sea Dogs

SYDNEY, NS - The regular season comes to a close this weekend for the Saint John Sea Dogs.

The Sea Dogs will play a pair of road games against the Cape Breton Eagles to close out the 2025-26 season. Saint John has qualified for the post-season and is locked into the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference – but it's still not known who they'll play in the first round.

The Eagles, meanwhile, could still move up or down the standings depending on how things play out this weekend. These games (or at least Friday's, for now) do have meaning.

Both teams are on losing streaks. Saint John has lost four straight while Cape Breton has lost six.

This is the first meeting between the two since late November.

Friday's game has a 7 p.m. start at Centre 200 while Saturday's will begin at 3 p.m.
