The Bulldogs were in action last night in Powell River, where they dug out of a 2-0 deficit after one with four unanswered goals to beat the Kings 4-2.
The Wild enter today playing their fourth game in five days - they topped the Express 12-0 in Coquitlam on Wednesday night before falling 4-3 in double OT to the Clippers in Nanaimo on Friday night. They were in Victoria last night, where they beat the Grizzlies 3-1.

It's a 2:00pm puck drop, which means Van Isle Ford Bulldogs Hockey is on the air on 93.3 The Peak FM with the pregame show at 1:45 with Bruce MacDonald and myself providing the colour commentary and analysis along with play-by-play.
Today's 2nd Intermission feature is a segment from the BCHL This Week radio show on TSN1040 and TSN1410, with host Iain Mcletchie interviewing Mike Snee, Executive Director of College Hockey Inc, all about the NCAA and it's increased presence in Canada with a broadcast schedule on TSN.
For the
third-straight season, the NCAA has announced a schedule of games to be
aired nationwide in Canada and each game will feature multiple BCHL
alums.
Canadian
viewers will be treated to 37 regular-season games in 2016-17, including
coverage of marquee events like Frozen Fenway in January and the
Beanpot from Boston in February. Coverage begins this Friday on
TSN with the Friendship Four from Belfast, Northern Ireland where as
many as 29 BCHL alums could play, including nine B.C.-born players.
“We are excited
that TSN will once again be making so many NCAA games available to
hockey fans in Canada,” said College Hockey Inc. Executive Director Mike
Snee. “Close to 30 per cent of all NCAA hockey players
are Canadian, including three NHL first-round draft picks in 2016. Our
partnership with TSN allows these young players to be more closely
followed in their hometowns and shows what makes playing for your school
a unique and special experience.”
The first
televised games on TSN’s 2016-17 NCAA hockey schedule are Friday from
Belfast, Northern Ireland, where Massachusetts, Quinnipiac, St. Lawrence
and Vermont will compete in the Friendship Four. Friday’s
games are set for 8 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. PT and will be available on
TSN2 and TSN GO. For those with extra channels, several games will be
available on Big Ten Network (BTN) and CBS Sports Network (CBSSN).
“TSN’s
significant coverage of NCAA hockey is great news for the hockey fan in
Canada,” said Craig Button, TSN’s Director of Scouting and a former NHL
general manager. “The games are intense and the players are
very skilled, with many of them headed to the NHL in the near future.
NCAA hockey is highly entertaining and fun to watch.”
TSN’s schedule
showcases teams from all six NCAA Division I conferences and many of the
nearly 200 NHL draft picks currently playing at the NCAA level.
Three Canadian
players taken in the first round of the 2016 NHL Draft are featured in
the schedule, including Nashville Predators draft pick Dante Fabbro of
Boston University, whose team will appear at least three
times.
“I’ve only been
at Boston University for a few months but I can already see why playing
NCAA hockey makes such a lasting impression on players who have done
it,” said Fabbro, a native of New Westminster, B.C.,
who played for the BCHL’s Penticton Vees. “It will be great that my
friends and family back home will be able to see what it’s like and
watch me play.”
TSN’s expanded
coverage of NCAA hockey is available for live streaming and on-demand
viewing to TSN subscribers through TSN GO. Seven games this season have
already been made available on TSN GO.
