Bulldoggedness and Fickle

Seems the bulldog bretheren and by that I mean those truly crazy and devout fans of tumd hockey squad were getting a little ansy with no announcements coming forthwith regarding next seasons signings. Well at least two made the committment this past week. One from wintery alberta and the other from rainy and sometimes tropical British Columbia.

Justin Fountain has finally signed his letter of intent to join the bulldogs next season. Although there were many detractors within Alberta about this young man's ability. Firstly because his father was an assistant coach on his Jr. A squad, and secondly because he was lined up with two of the top scoring forwards in the league last year, those naysayers have been silenced somewhat as Justin continues to impress. He leads his team in points, has been appointed the Captain this year and will make a significant contribution next year in duluth when he dawns the maroon and gold silks.

Western Canadians certainly appear to be the flavor that finds itself palatable to Coach Sandelin as he managed to secure a written commitment from Cody Danberg who hails from the British Columbia Junior Hockey League. Although curtailed by a shoulder injury of late, there is nothing like continuing to increase that ol canadian content. Now if we can just teach our American cousins how to brew beer, we will be set.
