“Since our new ownership group became involved with the Bulldogs, getting our lease extended was our top priority.” said Bulldogs President David Michaud. “Having a partnership with the City of Port Alberni is so important. With this behind us, Joe Martin and his hockey staff can set their sights on putting a great product on the ice that the community can be proud of.”
