Dogs host Smoke Eaters, ADSS FOOD DRIVE, Tom's East Coast Road Trip Diary #8

The Dogs are back in action tonight as they host the Trail Smoke Eaters at the Dog Pound. Game time is 7:00.

Check out my "Weekly Preview" article from the Bulldogs website HERE

Don't forget to help the ADSS Leadership Class help those less fortunate - and to get out school early just before Christmas ;)

The Food Drive is on now until Dec.16th. We are collecting non-perishable food items the can be dropped off in front of the main office at ADSS. Our goal this year is to reach 5600 items for Totem 56'. If we reach our goal our reward is early dismissal on the last day of school before the break, which would be 12:30. We will be collecting food items our front at the beginning of the Bulldogs home game on Wednesday the 8th. We need the communities help to reach our goal. Half the food will go to the Bread of Life and the other half to the Salvation Army. Some items in need this year are proteins, such as peanut butter, canned meat, tuna, etc.

Thanks for your help :) We will be listening for you on the radio.

Catch the pregame show at 6:45 with the play-by-play to follow with Rick and I on 93.3 The Peak FM and online at www.933thepeak.com

Port Alberni's own Edward Dyson playing in the NAHL Prospects game in Marpole Mass. This rink is just down the street from Patriots field where New England plays the Jets tonight. When I came by this. Afternoon 5 hrs before that NFL game there already line ups into the parking lot at Patriots field.  Tom

Andrew Ella at Nichols College in Dudley Mass which is 30 min from Boston. Nichols is beautiful little college of about 1400 students in the country side. About 80 percent of the students play athletics. Andrew is in the Marketing program in his third year. Their team plays NCAA Div 3. His parents. Art and Patti were here visiting as well so we had a great reunion. Art and Patti are coming down to Providence tonight for the Brown vs Providence game and a visit after with Harry and Jordan.

One of the buildings at Nichols College in Dudley Mass. Nichols is exactly what I would have envisioned as the small town New England school in the countryside.    Tom

Brown vs Providence in the Mayor's Cup. Final 4-4 with both Harry and Jordan scoring. Harry and his line mate Jack McCelland led Brown back from down 2-4 to tie in the last 5 minutes. Many NHL scouts there tonight and they all love Harry.  Tom
