YANN SAUVE TO PARTICIPATE IN CHL TOP PROSPECTS GAME

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Wednesday, January 9, 2007

SAINT JOHN, NB --- The Canadian Hockey League announced today that Saint John Sea Dogs defenseman Yann Sauvé has been named to the roster of Team Red for upcoming 2008 Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, which will be held in Edmonton, AB on January 23 at Rexall Place.

The Home Hardware CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game is the annual showcase of the top draft eligible players from the Western Hockey League, Ontario Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and features the next wave of future NHL stars from across the Canadian Hockey League. The two-day event will feature the annual Top Prospects Game, as well as a skills competition where players can show-off their individual abilities for fans and scouts alike.

Sauvé, 17, is currently enjoying a standout sophomore season with the Sea Dogs. The 6’3”, 220 lb. blue-liner was recently ranked 21st amongst North American skaters in the National Hockey League’s mid-season Central Scouting Rankings.

In 41 games played this season, Sauvé has registered 3G-10A-13P in addition to 54 PIM and a rating of +2. The first overall selection at the 2006 QMJHL Entry Draft, Yann tallied 2G-13A-15P in 60GP as a rookie with the Sea Dogs during the 2006-07 campaign. The Rigaud, QC native has played for Team QMJHL at the past two ADT Canada-Russia Challenges, and also played for Team Canada at last summer’s U-18 Junior World Cup in the Czech Republic.

The Sea Dogs are currently ranked first in the QMJHL East with a record of 26-12-1-2. Saint John commences a four-game home stand later tonight when they play the Acadie-Bathurst Titan at 7:00pm at Harbour Station.

You do realize that teams other then the Sea Dogs have prospects as well..................

We were lucky to get Sauve to represent us! Only 6 Q teams got picked. But how does Rimouski & Quebec each have 2 players going?? I'm sure they could have found a few prospects from other teams.....

but Mayer is still ISS's #1 goalie. And they are the kind of prospect that should be here (not well known)

Mayer is 15th among NA goalies on CSS' list.

There's huge margins between the services.

So you take the ISS rankings as gold because it supports your arguement better??

Mayer has been average thus far in his Q career, he certainly has shown plenty of flashes that he is the real deal but he needs to become consistant with his preformance game in and game out to get recognized. He could rip this league up in the second half(Mayer has that type of ability) which will improve his rankings for the daft.

[bjindaho]

yes, but I'd rather see him than Delmas. Delmas seems to be fairly consistent, but not on the same level.

Delmas has been very solid and consistent for the past 2 season and would be a starter for his team if not for Bernier. Mayer hasn't even accomplished being a starter yet.

Your putting too much stock into this Prospect selection, it is not the end of the world................. let's hope these guys have a great second half and improve their value.

[canucklehead]

So I take it where it says Sauve will be playing from the Red Team that was an error?

Better for him to not have to play with Doughty, Pietrangelo, and Del Zotto I figure this will give him the chance to stick out more.
