SAINT JOHN - In recognition of their performances at recent international tournaments, the Saint John Sea Dogs will host a pre-game ceremony Thursday to honour seven players.
Four Sea Dogs players represented their countries at the World Junior Hockey Championship recently, including bronze medalists Jonathan Huberdeau and Nathan Beaulieu of Canada. Tomas Jurco (Slovakia) also competed at the world juniors as did Charlie Coyle (USA), who will make his Quebec Major Junior Hockey League debut Thursday.
