Dogs host Grizz tonight, Hunter Stewart makes debut, Josh Bonar interview, Midget Dogs home Sunday for 1st

The Dogs are back on home ice tonight as they host the Victoria Grizzlies at the Dog Pound, the first time Victoria has paid a visit since September. Catch the pregame show on Boston Pizza Bulldogs Hockey on 93.3 The Peak FM at 6:45 with the play-by-play to follow at 7:pm.

Ace is off catching some sun rays on sandy beaches, so Alberni Golf Club Head Pro Bruce MacDonald will join me back in the booth once again to provide colour commentary and analysis. I'm jealous of Ace, and very happy to have Bruce back! And by the way, once again a special thanks to Bulldogs Public Address Announcer Charles Mealey for joining me in Duncan on Wednesday night! Charles does a great job, and I received lots of positive feedback. It is always nice to not call a game solo just to be able to have someone else to talk for a spell, to offer a different opinion and view on the game, or just to be a backboard to bounce things off of so I'm not just talking to myself...or just all the listeners - is how I try to think about it when I am a one man show.  


New Bulldog Hunter Stewart will make his Bulldog and Dog Pound debut, and also his radio debut as he will be my 1st Intermission guest. Hunter will wear number 18. I told him it is a jersey that is very familiar to the locals. For the new Bulldog fans - it was once worn by former Bulldog Captain and then Brown University Bear Captain Devin Timberlake.

Congrats to three Bulldog prospects who will play in the BCMML All Star game tonight! Read more HERE

Speaking of locals, Josh Bonar joins me in the 2nd Intermission, all the way from Hungary where he plays for the Miskolci Jegesmedvek Ice Bears.

Best of luck to the Van Isle Ford Midget Bulldogs, doing my best to get a big crowd out for them on Sunday night! Here's the email we at got at 93.3 The Peak from Simon Read. We have been pumping this up since Monday - please help share the word and get out Sunday night if you can!

Hello Peak staff:

Back in October the AVMHA Midget Bulldogs hockey team achieved a major goal
by qualifying to play in Division 1 of the Vancouver Island Hockey League.
They have led the division all season and are now poised to make history by
winning it, which is a huge achievement for a team from a small town.  The
Midget Bulldogs are in control of their destiny this Sunday, as they will
face off against Cowichan Valley  - the only team with a mathematical chance
of catching up to them to win the banner.

We would appreciate your assistance in inviting all Alberni Valley hockey
fans to come out and support our team for this crucial game.  It will be at
the Alberni Valley Multiplex starting at 5 PM on Sunday January 15th.
Admission is free.

Thank you

More later!
