Canucks home opener already controversial? Dogs host Cents. UPDATE: DOGS ADD COLLEGE BOUND PLAYER?

Imagine my surprise when I was doing my prep work for the broadcast tonight when I saw that the Bulldogs had a new player on their roster. Imagine my further surpise when I went to the BCHL webiste to do some research on this player and there he was, staring me in the face, as a feature player under the "College Bound" link. ??!!

Nothing official yet from the Bulldogs or the BCHL. Except the aforementioned "College Bound" link. Welcome to the club Chris!

From the newswire this morning:



(BC-Canucks-Season) Say goodbye to that hockey fan in your family and make plans to meet again in June -- the new N-H-L season is underway and the Vancouver Canucks meet San Jose tonight. But the Canucks' home-opener is already controversial -- in part because of the team's new blue and green jersey, introduced last month. Team management has extended the new colours to the conference and division banners gathered by the team over the past 37 years. Purists are particularly incensed that the banner honouring Stan Smyl's number 12 jersey -- the only one ever retired by the team -- has also been changed from the yellow and orange worn by Smyl to the new blue and green.

Whats your opinion? I say leave them as is- Don't update in the name of fashion!
