The Alberni Valley Bulldogs announced that this weekend’s games vs the Merritt Centennials on Friday November 15th has been postponed, and Sunday November 17th vs the Trail Smoke Eaters has been moved to the Rod Brind’Amour Arena in Campbell River. The start time will be 2:00 pm.
“The postponement of Friday’s game, and ultimately the decision to move Sunday’s contest to Campbell River is something that causes our organization great disappointment. With no ice in the Multiplex, we were forced to balance our wants of playing in front of our fans, and being good BCHL partners. The reality is, asking Trail to come back to Port Alberni later in the season wasn’t something that was fair to them, both from a time standpoint, but also financially”. said Bulldogs president David Michaud. ”We’re extremely disappointed to be in this position. We’ve had to cancel our parent weekend that was scheduled for this weekend as well. All in all, this a very difficult decision to try and balance what is right for all parties involved.
Fans holding tickets for the postponed game vs Merritt may use them for the rescheduled game when the date is announced, or exchange their paid tickets for any Bulldogs regular season game during the 2019-2020 season.
Season ticket holders and fans holding a game ticket for Sunday wishing to make the trip to Campbell River will have until 2:00 pm on Friday to pick up complimentary vouchers for the game. After Friday, the seats will be made available to the Campbell River public. All tickets for the game will be general admission. The Bulldogs office will be open Wednesday from 10:00am – 4:00 pm, Thursday 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm, and Friday from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm.
“We appreciate all the supportive messages we’ve received from our wonderful fans” said Bulldogs head coach and general manager. “Playing in front of our fans at the Dawg Pound this year has been incredible, we hope a few of them will make the trip and come support us”
