Saturday night, the Bulldogs officially open their 10th Anniversary season. Can we just drop the puck already!?
I'm excited to get back on the air calling hockey, and I'm excited to have Ace back in the booth with me as he was beside me from 2003-2004 through the 2005-2006 season, if memory serves me correct. Its tough to lose Rick after all the years we spend in the booth, but it feels like what is old is new again with Ace coming back. Longtime fans will no doubt remember all that he brings to the broadcast and new fans are soon to find out - a great eye for hockey, and some great statistics as well to keep you informed. He does more work on cumulative stats and head to head stats than I could manage without going crazy! Welcome back Ace! First Broadcast is of course Saturday night, with the Pregame Show on the air at approximately 6:45 with the puck drop to follow at 7pm.
I'm mostly just hoping that everything goes well and off without only minor glitches and hitches....we have no training camp no preseason, nothin' we just hit the ground running....hopefully!
The Bulldogs will be throwing a Tailgate party to kick the season off, with a BBQ, live music and The Peak Broadcasting live from outside the rink so be sure to come to the rink early Saturday night!
If you are outside of Peak listening range, catch the game over the internet through our Live Stream at www.933thepeak.com or listen live or watch live through the BCHL's PPV Broadcasts on their website here
Speaking of Ace's return to the booth - here's the last two "Off the Post" columns by Ace from the Alberni Valley Times click to read- September 9th September 15th
More later - off to more do more work to get ready!
