SAINT JOHN - The Saint John Sea Dogs have signed free agent forward Alexander Donovan to a QMJHL Scholarship and Development Agreement, the team announced today.

"I'm incredibly excited and honored to be joining the Sea Dogs family! The energy and tradition in Saint John is fantastic," said Donovan. "I can't wait to jump in and be part of this awesome community with such a strong history of success."

Hailing from Darien, Connecticut, Donovan comes to Saint John after four years at Shattuck St. Mary's where he lead his team in goals in each of the past two seasons.

"Alex has demonstrated scoring punch and a winning mentality in helping his Shattuck St. Mary's team win the U18 National Championship last season along with his international experience. He is a quick, gritty player with a high level of hunger to improve who Sea Dogs fans will enjoy watching."

Donovan was originally drafted first overall in the 2023 QMJHL American Draft by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan and is committed to the University of Denver.

"Alex is a hardworking and impressive hockey player, and an even better young man," said Sea Dogs President Trevor Georgie. "He comes from a great family and we are excited to welcome them to Saint John. Alex's work ethic is contagious and is the type of player that we want around our team and our community."
