2003-2004 and 2005-2006 "never heard before" highlights, Bulldogs announce trainer, signings, and a trade.

Hope summer is going well for all of you. Busy and boring at the same time for me. We are heading back to Manitoba for some holidays this week, so updates will be scarce for a while. First time home in a couple years for Sarah and myself, so it's certainly deserved.

Speaking of Manitoba, it's where the Dogs have found there new trainer. Avi Walker joins the team coming from the University of Manitoba Bisons. Read the release from the Bulldogs website here.

The Bulldogs also announced the signings of Scott McNicol and Cody Lockwood.

Welcome to the team Avi, Scott, and Cody.

Also, the Bulldogs announced that they have traded Brad Reaney to the Fort McMurray Oil Barons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League for future considerations. Read the release HERE. Personally, I'd like to wish Brad all the best in Fort Mac. Brad was a great guy and great teammate. Never short of character.

Alright, now off to the highlights. Time for the last highlights I think I have of 2003-2004. Still remember the game like it was yesterday. I had no voice left, and of course it's those games that end up going to double overtime.

Game 1, 2003-2004 playoffs Bulldogs vs Capitals. I already podcasted part 1, but in case you missed it here it is

PART 1

And, the exiting conclusion in double overtime PART 2

Now, onto some "forgotten" highlights podcasted from this past season. It's from game two of the Bulldogs vs Salsa Island Final series. The Bulldogs would end up winning the game 13-2.

It would be the last game they would win. At the time, no one would've ever believed that would be the case. I'm not going to get into any second guesses as to how or why the season ended. I've done that enough and I'm sure fans and players have done that too. I'd rather enjoy thinking back to the great moments. And was this game ever full of them. When it comes down to the Multiplex and how crazy it is, it seems to be even crazier when the Dogs score in bunches. Last season off the top of my head I can remember several instances of two goals in a matter of moments, and three goals in 5 minutes. Williams Lake, for those that don't remember it. Look back to past blog posts to hear the podcast of that crazy game. This game though, was even more crazy. 4 goals. One after another, after another, after another, after another. And the crowd got crazier and crazier and crazier, and so did I. Included is Tyler Ruels first ever hattrick goal, in his 200th career game. Take a listen, and remember the good times in the Dog Pound. Hope you enjoy.
