Dogs Ranked 4th At The Half

The Saint John Sea Dogs close out the first half of the 2011-12 season ranked fourth in the Canadian Hockey League. The latest edition of the BMO CHL MasterCard Top 10 Rankings were released this afternoon.

The Sea Dogs enter the holiday break on a two-game winning streak. They defeated the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles 4-3 on Friday at Centre 200 and the Moncton Wildcats 5-2 on Sunday in the Hub City.

Saint John sits second in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with a record of 28-10-0-1 for 57 points. They are two points back of the first-place Quebec Remparts.
