Callum Booth bounces back to lead Sea Dogs into Memorial Cup semifinal
WINDSOR, Ont. — The Saint John Sea Dogs’ season was on the line and they needed more from Callum Booth after a blow out by the Erie Otters only 24 hours earlier.
Booth delivered.
The 20-year-old goaltender made 31 saves and Joe Veleno had two goals and an assist as Saint John downed the Seattle Thunderbirds 7-0 on Tuesday to advance to the Memorial Cup semifinal.
Only a night earlier Booth gave up five goals on 14 shots and found himself on the bench watching his team drop a 12-5 decision against the Erie Otters. He entered Tuesday’s tilt with a 5.46 goals-against average and a .784 save percentage in two tournament starts.
