Bulldogs face Wild today in Chilliwack at BCHL Showcase *1:30 puck drop*

It's a big test today for the Bulldogs (2-2-0-0, T-2nd Island) as they take on the defending Fred Page Cup Champion Wenatchee Wild (3-1-0-0, T-2nd Interior) to open up their appearance at the BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack. 

The Bulldogs were last in action Saturday night at home, where they dropped their second straight, 4-0 to the Cowichan Valley Capitals. The Wild were also last in action Saturday night, when they picked up a 4-2 win over the Warriors in West Kelowna. 

While it seems way too early for me to wax poetical about "peaks and valleys" , at the same time it feels appropriate after what the team has done through four games. 

Two road wins on opening weekend, where they looked great and found a way to win. Followed by two home losses, where they didn't look especially good (that may be putting it kindly) and they didn't look even in the game. That might be putting it too harshly, but it's hard to argue back to back losses on home ice by a four goal spread. If either contest was a one or two goal affair, with a couple of bounces either way being the defining moments it's one thing. These games certainly didn't end up that way. 

So, back to the peaks and valleys - they'll happen throughout the season. Don't get too high after a win, don't get too low after a loss. Stay the course and prepare to be at your best every night because in this league if you don't - as a team,  come to play, it's not going to be a fun night. Or afternoon, in this instance. 

Pacific Chevrolet Bulldogs Hockey on 93.3 The Peak FM is on the air starting at 1:15 for the pregame show, with the puck drop and play-by-play to follow at 1:30.

Today's 2nd Intermission guest is Ryan Lepper, the play-by-play voice of the Salmon Salmon Arm Silverbacks, who the Bulldogs take on at 1:00pm tomorrow.

Please Note: There will be NO Hockey TV broadcast of this game, or any game throughout the duration of the BCHL Showcase that takes place in the secondary rink. Tomorrow the Bulldogs will take on the Silverbacks in the main rink, so you'll be able to watch as well as listen.

The below picture is from a couple of years ago, but it's how I make the broadcast happen when we're sitting at ice level instead of up top. A little dangerous, with no danger pay, but hey I'm dedicated right! Ha!
