It's the first meeting of the season between these two Island Division rivals, as the Alberni Valley Bulldogs (2-3-0-0) visit the Cowichan Valley Capitals(4-1-0-0) at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan for another edition of the "Battle of the Valleys", as I not-so-creatively have dubbed it.
The Bulldogs last played Tuesday night at home, where they won their second straight 6-3 over the Surrey Eagles. The Capitals also last saw action against the Eagles, here at the Big Stick on Wednesday night where they emerged victorious by a 5-2 score.
About the "Big Stick" thing - I always make a point of providing some background for the new fans on the first visit of the season to Duncan. Perhaps it's not so creative either, but it's accurate - the nickname for the Island Savings Centre a.k.a "The Big Stick" comes from the fact that the world's biggest Hockey Stick (and puck) adorn the outside of the rink.
I'll be live from the Island Savings Centre on Van Isle Ford Bulldogs Hockey on 93.3 The Peak FM
starting with the pregame show at 6:45, with the puck drop to follow after 7:00pm.
