I finished my interview after the game day skate this morning with Bryant Perrier and said "I'd like to interview Eric Fraser for tonight" Bryant said "sure, we just gave him an A on his sweater"

Cool timing!

Talk to you with the pregame at 7:15.

One more I almost forgot- Here's an update on the Midget Bulldogs. Still sounds cool saying "Bulldogs"

The AVMHA Midget Bulldogs tested their readiness for the season on Saturday September 20 with an exhibition game at Panorama against Peninsula Eagles. Although Alberni dominated the first period with speed and puck control, Peninsula scored first with a power play goal at 13:10. Cody Isherwood evened it up at 9:41 with assists from Myles Fitzgerald and Jeff Dagg.

Peninsula went up again at the start of the 2^nd period and was answered seconds later by Andre Savard (from Darren Oscienny). In the third period the Eagles scored at the 12 minute mark. Alberni finally got ahead with goals at 9:52 (Oscienny from Leo Fitzgerald) and 9:29 (Savard from Oscienny). Unfortunately the Eagles tied it up at 4-4 with a minute left.

Coach Brent Demerais says he is impressed with the depth of the bench this year. Although smaller than many of their opponents, the team has speed and skill in its favour. Any of the lines is capable of scoring and the defence and goal tenders are also strong.

The Midget Bulldogs are currently classified in Tier 2 of the VIHL and hope to challenge for Tier 1 by doing well in the placement games during the next month. You can see them in action at home September 27^th at 3 PM versus Cowichan, October 5 at 2:30 PM versus Powell River and October 18 at 3 PM against Kerry Park.
