Dogs host Clippers, Get well Shane Power, Dan Marshall interview by request, FINAL WARNING on posted interviews


The Dogs are back in action tonight, and maybe it's good to get back to action so quickly, after a 3 in 3 road trip to the Mainland left a lot to be desired. The task at hand is huge in the Clippers, so the Dogs had better be ready.

Fans need to remember to DRESS UP tonight! Have a little fun! Anyone who comes in costume gets a treat from Bernie the Bulldog, and the top 3 costumes will win prizes!

GET WELL SHANE POWER!

Shane Power, of Lasting Images Photography was hit by a puck right in the kisser while photographing the Cowichan vs Nanaimo game last Friday in Duncan. A true photographer, Shane didn't drop the camera. Atta boy Shane. A true trooper, he plans to make it to the game in Port Alberni tonight, stitches and all.

Thanks for Shane for the great picture of Josh Pineiro at the top of the blog, the penalty shot winner against Nanaimo. Also thanks for the great picture below of the "salute" from that same game. I'd like to dedicate both of these pictures to my good friend Bruce Sly, die hard Clipper fan. Sorry SLY, it's the BULLDOG blog, hahaha.

Check out all of Shane's BCHL pictures HERE

* A special note to the fans on the OTHER side of the rink*

Why not hang around the extra 30 seconds? You come to be entertained, you want to be entertained, you want an honest effort. The players in turn come back out to thank YOU for your incredible support, but you can't wait the extra 30 seconds for it? Where is everyone in such a rush to get to? The traffic jam in the parking lot? The beer garden? The bar? If you aren't out there before the game is over, I don't think you are getting any sort of advantage. But what do I know, I'm never out of the booth until 30 minutes after the game. Big kudos to everyone on the pressbox side of the rink. As far as I can see, most of the fans hang around for the three stars and the salute, when the home side wins.

Also big credit to the entire Alberni fanbase for ALWAYS cheering the three stars, no matter what side they come from- the Dogs, or the opposition. That is 100% class and very unique. Shows what the fans really appreciate here- A good effort, a skilled game, and being entertained, whether you are from the home side or the away side.

As requested, here's the interview I had last night with Dan Marshall, play-by-play voice of the Nanaimo Clippers. Dan is a true pro and a great interview. Click the link below.



FINAL WARNING for any interviews I have posted on this blog, and any interviews I have hosted on the net and sent links to people for them to catch interviews they have missed- SAVE A COPY NOW because I will be deleting those files. Until someone starts paying me for this blog, this will be something I will be forced to do. It's no small deal to host up to 30 different interviews, all 10 minutes in length, or close to it. That's alot of space. I will give you a couple of days, but make sure you find those links and RIGHT CLICK and SAVE AS so you can have a copy on your computer.

Thanks for checking the blog.
