Bulldogs Red vs White Game tonight, pregame BBQ, Exhibition opener tomorrow

A cool picture from Tuesday night's "Our Town" event down at the Harbour Quay, courtesy of the Bulldog Facebook page  as some members of the team take a break from the ball hockey game on the Centennial Pier to go for a cruise in the Port Alberni Port Authority's Harbour Chieftain.

 It's a pretty appropriate example of what being a Bulldog is all about - right off the ice, and immediately off to participate in a community event. Good job by the team to get the guys there. I was sad I had to miss the game on the dock, but I had my kids quickly approaching their melting point so I had to get them home, ha!

Tonight marks another step in preparation for the season, as the remaining prospective players in camp have what might be their last chance to impress the staff with the Red vs White game at 7:00pm.

Admission is a non-perishable food item. I will be posting scoring updates of tonight's game here on the blog.


Don't have your dinner at home - have it before the game outside the rink...or just have a second dinner, if that's your thing, as Bulldog Coaches Matt Hughes, Jeff Dubois and Trainer and Equipment Manager Scott Crema will be firing up burgers and dogs starting at 5:00pm.


Tomorrow marks another step, as the Exhibition schedule commences with the Dogs hosting Powell River, as the pace and level of play will again incrementally increase in advance of the Regular season.


Just a heads up that there will not be a broadcast of tomorrow's game, but I will be posting updates here on the blog so be sure to check back frequently throughout the game and be sure to hit REFRESH or the "F5" key.

The Bulldogs first ROAD Exhibition game is Saturday in Nanaimo - you can watch that one on HockeyTV with the dulcet tones of three-time BCHL Broadcaster of the year winner Dan Marshall providing the play-by-play.


Our lone pre-season broadcast will be next Friday, September 1st, when the Dogs host Victoria, so mark that on your calendars. Accept my apologies that I won't be able to attend the road Exhibition games in Duncan and the preseason finale next Thursday or Sunday due to work commitments. I'll reach out to their Broadcasters next week to inquire as to whether or not anyone will be providing updates.


That's it for now, thanks as always for checking the blog.
