We need that Canadian Grit to start Grinding

Missed the contest last night between St.Cloud State and the Duluth Canines. Didnt look like the bulldogs had much teeth in this contest being shutout once again. Its about time the ol Canadian content stood up and got counted. Losing 4-0 in your own barn , man that has got to hurt. Time to get your groove on and shut those yappie huskies up. To the Kodiak contingent, remember that game in the ajhl final a couple of years ago. Down 3 games to 1, in the opponents barn in wintery Fort McMurray, and down 2-0 with one period to go. And then,........ something happened. With your backs against the wall, you found it within yourselves you came back and tied the game with a couple of minutes on the clock and won that damn game in OT. You never looked back after that. Find that mojo and show your american friends about that Canadian Passion, to simply MAKE IT HAPPEN!

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.
