It's the conclusion of a three game weekend road trip for the Bulldogs (2-6-0-0, T-3rd Island) this afternoon, as they visit the Eagles (2-6-0-0, 5th Mainland) at the South Surrey Arena for a 4:00pm puck drop.
The Bulldogs were in Penticton last night, where a great effort still saw them fall short as they dropped their sixth straight, 2-0 to the Vees.
The Eagles were last in action Friday night at home, where they picked up a 3-2 shoot out win over the Prince George Spruce Kings. Earlier in the week they fell 8-0 to the Express in Coquitlam on Wednesday night.
It's a unique ice surface here in Surrey, as it's an International sized ice sheet which makes it much different than the other sheets in the league as it's 15 feet wider than regulation size at 200 x 100. There's obviously much more room to create offensively, but on the other side of that there's more room to defend in your own end. The key - at least how it was explained to me by a former Bulldog Coach, is to not chase outside the faceoff dots, as while the ice sheet is larger, it's still the same distance dot to dot.
I'll once again have the call for you on Pacific Chevrolet Bulldogs Hockey, on 93.3 The Peak FM, with the pregame show commencing the proceedings at 3:45 followed by the 4:00pm puck drop.
Today's 2nd Intermission guest is Lars Hepso (2010-2013)- our first (of what will hopefully be many) interviews with Bulldog Alumni throughout the season. Lars is a fantastic story - he's the President and Founder of Skate with Power, and this summer was named Skating Coach for the NHL's Arizona Coyotes.
