Fans plan Rally for Dogs, Evan Pighin situation, former BCHL'er Brad Thiessen player of the week..

Yikes haven't posted since Saturday! Been busy, my apologies!

Lets start first off with this, an Email from Nancy - only in Port Alberni does something like this happen!

Hi Evan:

We are going to have a rally for the Bulldogs, sort of like a sendoff on the summit, but they are leaving Thursday morning, so we have decided to have the rally at the end of their practice on Wednesday. Do you think you could really promote it on the radio and on your blog? We are asking everyone to meet in the lobby at the arena at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday Oct 22nd and we`ll all go into practice together at around 4:15. Hopefully it will help the guys for their road trip.

What an outstanding idea! It's on the blog and on the radio already! So tell one tell all please and get down to the rink Wednesday afternoon!

Don't remember or know what the "Send off at the Summit" is? Take a look at this video, from the 2005-2006 season.

(PG rating, mild language)






Thanks to Danno for sending me this update on the Evan Pighin situation. He's finally cleared to play for the Grizzlies. Read all about it from this article from the Victoria Times Colonist HERE


Not Bulldog related, but BCHL related...A nice little story here on former BCHL'er Brad Thiessen, recently named Hockey East Player of the Week


Nice to get an update from Bulldogs Head Coach Bryant Perrier last night on the state of Josh Pineiro's health. I didn't want to talk on here about the situation as I didn't know what was public knowledge or what the team wanted to share.

As Bryant said on the show last night, Josh is one tough hombre and proved it Saturday as he went through the pain of a dislocated jaw after an elbow to the face by Victoria Grizzlies d-man Todd Gebert.

For over half an hour the doc at the rink tried to get the jaw back in but couldn't. An overnight hospital stay in Victoria was the end result. What a way to spend a Saturday night.

Bryant also stated on the show that the Bulldogs have sent the tape to Dave Sales in the BCHL office with a request that the league look at the incident.

More news to come on this situation when I get it.
