Dogs host Cowichan tomorrow, Salmon Fest Opening Ceremonies...

The Bulldogs are back in action tomorrow night as they play their final Exhibition Game on home ice when the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Game time is at 7:00pm. Right after the game I'm hoping to catch the Fireworks from the Salmon Festival Opening Ceremonies - they are advertised to begin at 9pm Friday.

Here's some reaction from the Dogs coming off the 3-1 loss to theGrizzlies from today's Alberni Valley Times - click here to read it "Coaches like effort from crew"

Here's an update from the Alberni Golf Club. Thanks as always to Gerry for keeping me (and the rest of us) in the loop!

The Club Championship wrapped up a couple of weeks ago, with one of our up and coming juniors defeating all opponents to capture the title. It took Jeff Dagg 33 holes to beat runner up Damien White to win the Championship. ( Way to go Jeff ) Ron Clark emerged as the A flight winner, with Steve Pointon as the runner up. The B flight was won by Fred Gray and the runner up was Gene Kemoto. Congratulation to all those who participated and for giving us a series of great matches.A special thanks to Barlows Home Entertainment and the Alberni Valley Times for sponsoring the Chanmpionship.
