1770 miles/2832 kilometres later, we're home / Hockey makes people do stupid things

From loading the bus at the Dog Pound 6am Tuesday and driving up to Prince George, then to Quesnel, then to Kamloops and Kelowna eventually to Trail and Castlegar, then on to Penticton and finally Merritt before heading home, the Dogs put 1770 miles and 2832 km's on the odometer. I don't even have the energy to figure out where you can go "as the crow flies" from Port Alberni if you travel that distance.





After arriving back in Port Alberni after midnight last night (technically today) I had to quickly jump into the wrapper to get some shuteye to make it to the radio station to be on the air at 6am this morning. Needless to say, I need a nap right about now.





Next up for the Dogs is back to back home games this Thursday and Saturday. Fans will see two teams at home for the first time this season in Nanaimo and Salmon Arm. The Dogs haven't seen Salmon Arm at all this season, but they have seen Nanaimo three times already, all games at the Frank Crane Arena. Nanaimo won game 1 on opening night 5-1, before the Dogs handed them their first loss of the season 2-1 back on September 26th. Nanaimo won the most recent meeting 4-2 on October 6th.

Tonight on 93.3 The Peak FM the Vancouver Canucks return to the local airwaves with the pre-game show on the air at 6:30 and the play-by-play at 7:00 as the 'Nucks host San Jose. Very excited to have the Canucks back on local radio.

Due to the Canucks game, "BULLDOGS THIS WEEK" will be airing tomorrow night at 6-7pm live on location at Alberni Chrysler at the top of the town. Fans are welcome to drop by the dealership to check the show out live in person and have a chat with my guests from the Bulldogs coaching staff and roster. I will also have guests joining me on the phone from the Nanaimo and Salmon Arm camps to talk about their seasons so far. A huge test for the Bulldogs, as they face the top teams from both conferences in the Clippers and the Silverbacks.

If you have a question for my guests drop me an email HERE

Brakes-CutINDEX:Justice, Social, Sports Prince George, B.C. hockey team escapes injury as vandals cut bus brake lines

WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. - RCMP in the Interior B.C. city of Williams Lake are investigating a serious case of vandalism in which both brake lines were cut on a bus carrying a junior bantam hockey team from Prince George.

Constable Jeremy Roberts says the deliberate and malicious act took place last Thursday night after thieves broke into the bus and stole items belonging to team members and coaches.



The thefts were discovered when the team boarded the bus, but the driver had no indication the brake lines had been severed until the bus was moving.



Fortunately, he was able to bring it to as stop and no one was hurt.



Roberts says no arrests have been made.



He says the deliberate sabotage has upset the Cariboo community of Williams Lake and residents want to know who would put so many lives in jeopardy. (CHNL)(The Canadian Press)
