Thanks to Jamie, Steve and Theresa for all giving me a heads up on Harry Zolnierczyk scoring his first pro goal last night with the Adirondack Phantoms of the AHL last night. Harry was a +2 while being named third star of the game. Read more from the Phantom's site here
Some Kidsport news - thanks to Ron for sending this along...
Here is a photo of an on ice presentation made at the March 1st Bulldogs playoff game. It represents the amount raised for KidSport Port Alberni through the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Shoot & Score program this season. During the 2010/11 season, program sponsors Alberni Chrysler and Alberni Toyota contributed $10 for every home goal scored by the Bulldogs hockey Club. Including playoffs, the total amount raised for KidSport Port Alberni was $1070.00.
These funds will help pay sports registration fees for local athletes - "So All Kids Can Play!"
