Bulldogs host Clippers tonight, Parents Weekend

It's the second meeting between the teams this season, and the first on home ice for the Bulldogs (6-9-1-0, 3rd Island) as they host the Nanaimo Clippers (6-10-0-0, 4th Island) open a two game home stand this weekend


The Bulldogs last played Sunday in Langley, where they ended a three game road trip by snapping a three game losing streak with a 3-2 come-from-behind overtime win over the Rivermen The Clippers last saw action Sunday afternoon at home, where they lost 2-1 to the Powell River Kings


It just seems odd that this is just the second meeting of the season between the teams, the last coming in Nanaimo on September 9th, a 2-1 Bulldog win.  It's the Bulldogs closest geographic rival, yet they've seen Salmon Arm twice, Trail twice, Langley, Surrey, Vernon, and Merritt....while they've also only seen Cowichan twice, and haven't even played Powell River yet.


*Did you know?* The only team in the BCHL that has played less home games than the Bulldogs going into play tonight is the Wenatchee Wild?

If you can't make it to the game, we'll bring it to you, on Van Isle Ford Bulldogs Hockey on 93.3 The Peak FM. Bruce MacDonald handles analysis and colour commentary, Dan Tisserand takes care of team and player statistics while I provide the play-by-play.
