SAINT JOHN, NB --- Saint John Sea Dogs Director of Hockey Operations Mike Kelly announced today that the transfer of import forward Stanislav Galiev to the Canadian Hockey League has been approved by the International Ice Hockey Federation. Galiev will now be able to skate with the Sea Dogs competitively.

"We're very pleased that the IIHF has made this decision and we're excited to be able to officially add Stanislav to our roster," said Kelly.
