Bulldogs and Grizzlies play to 1-1 tie

A very entertaining, fast paced and well played game by both teams, with neither side able to find the winner through 70 minutes of hockey as the contest ended in a 1-1 draw.

Chris Schutz put the Dogs up 1-0 in the first, a lead they held until the third period when a deflected Cody Van Lierop shot found its way home.

Both sides would have their chances for the winner the rest of the way and through overtime, but no one could find the net as Chris Tai and Mitchell Benson were both solid manning the respective cages. 

The Grizzlies out shot the Dogs 43-39. I had the Dogs 0 for 3 on the power play and the Grizzlies at 0 for 4.

The teams meet again tomorrow night to conclude the preseason at Westhills Arena in Langford. There won't be a broadcast, but I'll attempt to update the blog.
