The Saint John Sea Dogs have signed 17-year-old forward Cam MacDonald to the team.
MacDonald had previously been committed to Boston College in the NCAA, but decided to join the QMJHL team instead.
The Hammonds Plains, N.S., native was selected 51st overall by the Sea Dogs in the 2019 QMJHL Entry Draft.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Cam and his family to the Sea Dogs,” said president and general manager Trevor Georgie.
“We know that it was a big decision for Cam and are happy that in the end, he is now one of us. Our fans are going to really enjoy him as a player.”

MacDonald played last season in Sioux Falls of the USHL registering 20 points in 44 games.
In 2018-19, MacDonald played at Selects Hockey Academy 15U where he led his team in scoring with 72 goals and 126 points in 52 games.
“It means a lot to sign with an organization like Saint John. I couldn’t be more excited to start this new journey for my hockey career,” said MacDonald.
“It’s been a crazy ride and I want to thank Saint John for giving me this opportunity to start a new chapter.”
MacDonald is the most recent player to make the move from the NCAA to the Sea Dogs. He joins Peter Reynolds, Charlie DesRoches, Josh Lawrence, Matt Gould, Michael Campoli, Dawson Stairs and Kale McCallum as college-bound players who have committed to the Sea Dogs in the past 24 months.
