BATTLE FOR ROSTER SPOTS READY TO HEAT UP WITH 43 PLAYERS HITTING THE ICE
New Alberni Valley head coach Joe Martin will get his first look at a revamped Bulldogs roster on Monday when the team opens its 2019 Main Camp at Alberni Valley Multiplex.
This year’s camp will see 43 returning, committed and prospective Bulldogs players face off over three days of practices and scrimmages, including a pair of Red vs. White intrasquad games at 7:00 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday. Martin and his staff will trim the team’s roster over the course of the week, which includes a trio of home exhibition contests against the Powell River Kings and Cowichan Valley Capitals (details below).
“We’re very excited to have our group together and start building our identity as a team,” says Martin. “We’ve got a great mix of returning players and some talented recruits, as well as a handful of good young players who will be looking to make a strong impression. It’s going to be a very competitive and intense camp.”
Bulldogs fans are invited to attend all on-ice camp sessions at no charge, while exhibition game tickets will be available at the door (Adults: $5; Children: $2).
