Saint John training camp roster

Press Release

Saint John Sea Dogs Director of Hockey Operations Mike Kelly has unveiled the full roster for the team’s upcoming training camp. Sea Dogs Training Camp gets underway on Monday, August 17 at Harbour Station.

This year’s training camp roster will initially be divided into three similarly-sized teams. Team A is comprised entirely of veterans while Teams B and C are made up of rookies, prospects, and free agents. After two days of action, the groups will be reconfigured into White and Blue squads, who will square off in an intrasquad game on Friday, August 21 at 7pm. Fans attending this match are invited to bring a non-perishable food item with them to donate to Romero House.

Forward Josh Schram has decided to focus on his educational pursuits this year and will not be attending camp. Overage winger Mike Hoffman, meanwhile, has elected to continue to train with a group of his fellow professional prospects in his home province of Ontario in anticipation of his upcoming tryout with the Binghamton Senators (AHL). Both players’ major junior rights remain in Saint John’s possession.
