Eagles Wrap Up Home Opening Weekend With Visit From Sea Dogs

The Cape Breton Eagles will look to pick up their first win of the 2024-25 season as they welcome Sydney native Darien Reynolds and the Saint John Sea Dogs for their first meeting of the season.

Both the Eagles & Dogs have been welcoming players back from the professional ranks, as Friday saw Jakob Milota (Cape Breton/Nashville), Tyler Peddle (Saint John/Columbus), Eriks Mateiko (Saint John/Washington) return to QMJHL action, and Tomas Lavoie (Cape Breton/Utah) was recently reassigned to Cape Breton. Mateiko recently signed an entry level contract with Washington, while another NHL signed forward, Cape Breton’s Cam Squires, remains at New Jersey training camp. Saint John defenseman Matteo Mann (Philadelphia) remains at AHL training camp.

In addition to the divisional rivalry, the Eagles will see another familiar face this afternoon- goaltender Charles-Edward Gravel, who was acquired from Baie-Comeau by Saint John in the off-season. Gravel was in goal during the third round playoff series between the Eagles & Drakkar in the spring.
