Quebec City newspaper Le Soleil is reporting Jim Hulton will be the next head coach of the Saint John Sea Dogs. Hulton resigned last week after 11 seasons with the Charlottetown Islanders. No official word from the Sea Dogs. The QMJHL Draft is this weekend.

[Patrick McNeil @cbepbp]

Biggest Q news today, number of significant reports:

- Jim Hulton moves from Charlottetown to Saint John

- Mateo Nobert going from BB to Halifax in a deal involving the third overall pick

- Saint John adding Samuel Meloche from RN

Maritime Division will be insane next year.

After 11 yrs @JimHulton1 is stepping down to ‘pursue other opportunities.’ Jim built a great program @IslandersHKY & is one of the most respected people in hockey. A member of the Kingston Sports HOF Jim will be a great asset wherever he lands. Wishing him the best.
