BANTAM BULLDOGS ARE BACK

 The AVMHA Bantam A Bulldogs opened their season with two exhibition wins at Weyerhauser last weekend.  On Saturday they faced off against Campbell River Tyees and came away with a 6-2 victory.  The Bulldogs finished on top of Oceanside 6-2 in Sunday’s game.  The whole team was contributed to the weekend results.  The coaches will build on these first games as they try to forge a really strong team from a group of players who are still getting used to each other.

 The Bantam Bulldogs will be playing their first placement round games away next weekend.  They play Cowichan at 1:30 PM at Fuller Lake Arena on Saturday September 26 and Nanaimo at Nanaimo Ice Centre at 3:30 on September 27.

BANTAM BULLDOGS TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS

The whole Victoria team gets together to stop Jas Sidhu (19) and another Bulldog in front of their goal

 

The Bantam A Bulldogs posted a solid victory over Victoria Racquet Club Kings on Saturday at the Multiplex.  The usually strong Victoria team was no match for the locals, who out-skated, out-shot and out-hit the visitors throughout the game.

 The Bulldogs opened scoring on a power play at 14:40 of the first period when Sam Visona put Beau Wilson’s pass in stick side.  Tyler Wilhelm’s point shot at 7:03 made it 2-0 before Victoria came back with two goals to end the period at 2-2.  For a while it looked as if the momentum would shift to Victoria, but two quick goals put Alberni back in control.  Five minutes into the second period, Ryan Buse scored with a slap shot from the right point.  Seconds later Wilhelm took a feed from Marino Somerville and slapped in another one from the left hatch marks.  Two minutes later Wilson flipped one upstairs over the sprawling goalie’s glove to make it 5-2 at the ice clean.

 When play resumed Wilhelm made a power play rush from deep in Bulldogs’ territory and fed Austin Smith behind the defence to find an opening on the stick side.  Victoria got one back.  As the second period wound down, Chase Gaudreault pushed the puck back from a scrum in front of the Victoria net.  Buse jumped on the puck and slammed it past the screened goalie.  To close out the period Visona set up Somerville for a breakaway to make the score 8-3.  On the opening play of the third period the Bulldogs struck again.  Wilhelm put the puck deep for Somerville who passed across the crease where Wilson slid it in on the open side.  With 14 minutes to go Smith skated deep down the right side and sent a perfectly timed pass cross ice to Logan Savard who one timed it behind the goalie.  Final score 10-3.

 The win should give the Bantams some confidence as they travel to the mainland on Thanksgiving weekend for the Ridge Meadows Fall Icebreaker Tournament.

October 20, 2009 - BANTAM SPLIT

In weekend action at home the Bantam A Bulldogs outscored their opposition by 13 to 3, coming away with a lopsided victory over Oceanside and then falling one goal short in a 3-2 loss to Powell River.

On Friday, Oceanside woke the Alberni team up by scoring in the first minute of play.  The Bulldogs responded by controlling play and shutting out the visitors for the rest of the game.  At the top of the scoring were Corey Beecroft (2G, 3A), Connor Gagnon (2G, 2A) and Logan Savard (2G, 2A).  The final score was 11-1.

It was different story on Saturday as the Bulldogs speedy forwards had trouble finding a hole in the Powell River defence.  Powell River scored at 15:20 of the first period and again at 17:42 of the second.  Liam McLeod got Alberni Valley on the board at 15:51 of the second assisted by Austin Smith and Spencer Pierce.  Powell River went up by 2 early in the third period.  Then at 12:31 the Bulldogs power play got them close.  Beecroft and Beau Wilson got the puck on goal and Pierce was able to pull a rebound back from the goalie and put it in the open side of the net.  However, in spite of some good chances for Alberni, that was the last goal of the game.

BANTAM BULLDOGS BATTLE BEST

 The Bantam A Bulldogs, sponsored by Dave Koszegi (ReMax Realty) and Sure Span Construction Ltd., are playing in Division 1 of the Island League this year.  Reaching this level is in itself an achievement, but as a team from a small town, the Bulldogs have taken on a real challenge to compete against rep teams from the larger cities.

 After lopsided losses to Nanaimo in the pre-season, there was some apprehension leading up to the first regular game on Saturday at Nanaimo Ice Centre.  But you couldn’t tell from the way the Bulldogs played.  The whole team was flying from the first whistle.  Nanaimo scored first, but Alberni evened it up before the end of the first period.  Spencer Pierce cleared to Nathan Read, who made a long pass down the boards to Corey Beecroft.  Beecroft scored with a hard shot from the top of the right circle.

 The Bulldogs continued to skate with Nanaimo through a scoreless second period.  They allowed few good opportunities for the opposition and played most of the time in the offensive zone.  In the third period Pierce scored to give the Bulldogs a 2-1 lead.  For a while an upset looked possible, but Nanaimo capitalized on two power plays to finish ahead 3-2.  With this game the Bulldogs team proved that they are competitive with any other team in the league.

 The Bantam Bulldogs are at home at the Multiplex next weekend, playing Juan de Fuca Grizzlies at 1:00 PM on November 28.  They have an exhibition game with Peninsula Eagles at 2:30 PM on November 29.

BANTAM A BULLDOGS BEAT FISH, GAME AND BIRDS 

The Bantam A Bulldogs went 3 for 3 last weekend.  On Friday November 27 they travelled to Campbell River for an evening game against the Tyees.  Alberni got the first goal with a man advantage (Corey Beecroft from Ellis Martin) at 13:40 of the first period, but the Tyees took it back on the buzzer  It was late in the second frame before the Bulldog shooters started to find their mark.  Austin Smith passed to Sam Visona for a nice power play goal late in the period, quickly followed by another from Spencer Pierce with help from Beau Wilson and Ryan Buse.  Smith scored early in the third, but Campbell River narrowed the gap moments later and kept on coming.  It took back to back goals by Logan Savard and Buse late in the game to seal the 6-2 win.

 November 28th at the Alberni Valley Multiplex was an important league game against Juan de Fuca Grizzlies.  Juan de Fuca scored first.  With 7:14 left in the first, Savard drove to the net with Pierce on a power play.  Pierce knocked in the tying goal.  Juan de Fuca came back hard, but as the period closed, Connor Gagnon got behind the JDF defence and snapped the puck in glove side.  The rest of the game was an end to end battle of defence and goaltenders.  The Bulldogs team defence gave up few opportunities, and Bryce Dirocco was solid in goal to take the 2-1 win.  Coach Kevin Somerville said, “The team was good today, the way they need to play in this division.”

 Sunday’s exhibition game with Peninsula Eagles was a different kind of game with numerous turnovers.  The first period finished up 2-1 on goals by Smith and Wilson.  Peninsula evened it up with two Alberni players in the box early in the second.  Then Beecroft put one in off the crossbar and Wilson and Sam Visona combined in a nice two on one for two more power play goals.  Peninsula got one back before Pierce skated in from the point and picked the top right corner right on the buzzer.  The Eagles kept coming and made it 5-4 as the third period began.  At 13:34 Liam MacLeod carried the puck deep on a 3 on 1 rush and passed back across the crease for Savard to finish on the open side.  With five minutes left Smith and Visona in close bounced shots off the goalie’s pads before Beecroft grabbed the second rebound and finished it off for a 7-4 final.

 The Bantam reps acknowledge their sponsors Sure Span Construction and Dave Koszegi of ReMax.  They next play away against Cowichan at Fuller Lake, December 5 at 1:30 and at home to Nanaimo at 2:30 PM December 6 at Weyerhauser.

The Bantam A Bulldogs split their games on the Dec 5-6 weekend, outplaying Cowichan at Fuller Lake in a 4-1 game, but unable to find a winning combination at home against Nanaimo.  They are tied for 3rd place in the Island League Division 1 standings.

 In Fuller Lake the Bulldogs drew first blood on a power play when Austin Smith ripped a hard shot in from the left circle.  Logan Savard assisted.  Cowichan evened it up as the first period ended.  The second period was an end to end battle.  With only 2:27 left on the clock Corey Beecroft and Savard worked the puck across the blue line.  Savard went hard to the net and drove in the game winning goal on the blocker side.  At 11:31 of the third period Beau Wilson and Liam MacLeod cycled the puck to big Tyler Wilhelm in the slot to get the insurance goal.  The Bulldogs protected their lead for the rest of game, keeping Cowichan in the other end.  With a minute left Beecroft worked the puck in for MacLeod to finish it off with a 4-1 win.

 Casey Davidson made some great saves to maintain the Alberni lead, but the whole team played intense hard hockey for three periods to take this one.  They next play an exhibition game against Cowichan on December 12 followed by a game in Comox on Dec 13.

 The Bantam reps have picked up another sponsor.  Tseshaht Market joins Dave Koszegi and Sure Span Construction as sponsors of the Bantam A team.

BANTAM BULLDOGS GET READY FOR PLAYOFFS

The Bantam A Bulldogs played their last games of the regular season on January 9th and 10th.  On Saturday they made the trek to meet the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies at Bear Mountain.  They did well to start, taking a 2-1 lead early in the second period on goals by Sam Visona and Tyler Ibsen.  Visona also assisted on the second goal.  After that, there was lots of individual effort, but the Alberni passing game was missing.  The Grizzlies took a comfortable lead with four unanswered goals.  The Bulldogs got some sustained pressure going late in the 3rd period.  That led to a goal from Austyn Smith.  Spencer Pierce assisted.  The final goal was an empty netter to give Juan de Fuca a 6-3 win.  One bright spot for Alberni was a penalty kill that allowed no goals against.

 On Sunday at home the Bantams showed up to play as a team against Cowichan Valley, skating and hitting hard from the opening puck drop.  They scored first with a man advantage.  Tic tac toe passing went from defencemen Nathan Read and Dawson Marlatt for Marino Somerville to finish in close.  The game went back and forth and Cowichan went ahead by a goal in the second period.  Ibsen and Beau Wilson combined for Smith to even it up late in the second period.  Spencer Pierce scored the next goal, banging in a rebound from Wilson and Smith early in the third period.  Both teams had chances after that and Casey Davidson made some great saves to keep the lead.  Then Cowichan got a break and tied it up at 3-3 with less than a minute left.  The specialty teams did well in this game, scoring two power play goals and allowing no goals against during the penalty kill.  There was good skating and passing throughout.

 

With this kind of energy and team work the Bantams will be in good shape for the playoffs.  In the meantime they are off to the Kamloops T2 Tourney January 15-17.  Thanks to sponsors Dave Koszegi of ReMax and Surespan Construction Ltd. for the support that makes this possible.

AV Bantam A Bulldogs at Kamloops Tourney

The Alberni Valley Bantam A Bulldogs topped their pool in the Bantam Division of the Kamloops AA Tournament January 15-17, only to be edged out by a strong Whitehorse team in the semi-final.  The teams in the tournament were closely competitive with each other, with numerous ties in the standings. 

The Bulldogs opened with a 4-4 tie against Quesnel Thunder in a late game Friday.  Dawson Marlatt was chosen MVP.  On Saturday morning they beat Vernon Vipers 8-3.  Beau Wilson was MVP.  This was followed by another tie against Wenatchee Wild which saw the Bulldogs down 3-1 with two minutes left.  At that point Coach Kevin Somerville pulled the goalie in favour of an extra attacker.  The Alberni offence blasted the goalie with shots, most from the blue line.  The lead was quickly narrowed to a single goal.  Then with seconds left on the clock, Ryan Buse made yet another point shot that got through and tied the game at 3-3.  Buse was chosen as game MVP.

Even the semi-final was closer than the score would suggest.  The game went end to end throughout and the Bulldogs had many more shots on goal than Whitehorse.  A couple went off the posts.  Unfortunately only two got past the Whitehorse goal tender, and one of those was disallowed as a result of a quick whistle.  In the other semi-final, host Kamloops edged out Quesnel in a shoot out.  Kamloops went on to win the final against Whitehorse and the tournament.

The Bantam Bulldogs showed good team play in this tournament and the ability to move the puck around and generate offence from the blue line as well as up front.  The penalty kill continues to be strong.  This will help in the upcoming North Island finals which will include a game against Campbell River in Port Alberni on January 30th and an away game with Powell River on February 6th. 

The support of sponsors Dave Koszegi of ReMax and Sure Span Construction Ltd. helps make possible the travel for events such as the Kamloops tournament.

February 2, 2010 - BANTAM BULLDOGS BEAT TYEES

The Bantam A Bulldogs beat Campbell River 4-2 at Weyerhauser arena in VIHL North Island Play-off action Saturday.  The Bulldogs survived a lengthy 5 on 3 situation before scoring late in the first period.  Tyler Wilhelm and Chase Gaudreault set up Beau Wilson who put a back hand shot on the top shelf.  At 14:40 of the second period Nathan Read powered down the left side around the defence and then combined with Liam MacLeod for the second goal.  With a two goal lead the Bulldogs eased up a little and Campbell River took advantage of the space to even it up at the end of the period. 

The rest of the game had spectators on the edge of their seats with good chances going both ways.  At 10:53 Beau Wilson and Austyn Smith combined in a 2 on 1 rush with Smith scoring the go ahead goal and Wilson assisting.  The one goal difference held up until the last minute when Smith passed to MacLeod for an empty netter.

 

 

The Bantams thank sponsors Sure Span Construction Ltd. and Dave Koszegi/Remax for supporting them into the playoffs.  The Bantam Bulldogs are away in Powell River on February 6th for their next play-off game.

Bantam A Bulldogs Advance to Island Semi Finals

In weekend action Luciano Somerville (22) and Sam Visona (13) pressure the Powell River goal as Spencer Pierce (20) ties up a defender on the boards.

The Bantam A Bulldogs, who are sponsored by Sure Span Construction and Dave Koszegi/Remax Realty, will advance to the Vancouver Island semi-final after completing the North Island play off series on Saturday February 6.   In spite of losing 2-4 in Powell River, Alberni stayed close enough to move on.  The series ended in a three way tie that had to be decided on a calculation of goal average.  That puts Campbell River Tyees in first place and Alberni Valley Bulldogs in second, and means that Alberni will be scheduled to play Juan de Fuca Grizzlies in a cross-over game in Victoria next weekend.

The first period went end to end until Powell River scored with 4:28 left.  As the period ended, Marino Somerville came out of the penalty box, picked up an outlet pass behind the Powell River defence and broke in alone to even the score.  Powell River went ahead again as the second period started.  Then on power play Nathan Read passed to Somerville at the side of the net.  When jamming it in at the post did not work, Somerville pulled the puck back and got it past on the other side. 

The 2-2 tie held until late in the third period.  Facing elimination, Powell River poured on the offence and held the Bulldogs in the defensive zone for most of the period.  Bryce Dirocco had to make a lot of saves, but with four minutes left one got by.  Then, the Powell River coach, knowing more goals would be needed to avoid elimination, took the unusual step of pulling the goalie in a winning game.  The result was one more goal, but it was not enough to keep Alberni out of the next round of play-offs.

March 3, 2010 - Bantam Bulldogs over Comox

The Bantam A Bulldogs decisively defeated Comox Chiefs in a home game at Weyerhaeuser on February 27th.  Alberni took advantage of an early power play opportunity to get on the score board first.  Nathan Read and Beau Wilson set up Chase Gaudreault at 17:06.  Seconds later Austyn Smith took a pass from Corey Beecroft to make a 2-0 lead.  Then as the first period wound down Beecroft and Gaudreault fed Marino Somerville to go up 3-0. 

Comox took one back off a turnover early in the second period, but the Bulldogs reclaimed their 3 goal margin before the end of the frame when Somerville passed through the crease for Gaudreault to make his second goal in the open glove side.  Early in the third frame Wilson passed back to Read in the high slot.  Read rang a slap shot in off the left post to make it a 5-1 final.   

The Bulldogs played hard throughout the game, using their size and speed to control play and passing well.  They played short handed for much of the third period, including two three on five situations, but their penalty kill effectively sealed the game by shutting down Comox on all seven attempts.

  

As this may be their last home game of the season, the team really wants to thank sponsors Dave Koszegi of ReMax, Surespan Construction and Tseshaht Market.  Thank you also to Coaches Kevin Somerville, Ron Buse and Rob Gaudreault, Conditioning Coaches Dave and Jill Sherwood, Safety Person Bruno Visona and all the parents for your support through the season.

Bantam A Bulldogs Back With Gold

Alberni Valley’s Bantam A Bulldogs finished their season by bringing home gold medals from the gold division of the 33rd Port Coquitlam Bantam International Tournament which was held over Spring Break.  The last time an Alberni team did this was in 1982.

Back standing l-r:  Head Coach Kevin Somerville, Tyler Ibsen, Tyler Wilhelm, Beau Wislon (A), M. Somerville, Chase Gaudreault, Coach Rob Gaudreault.

Kneeling l-r:  Spencer Pierce, Logan Savard, Austyn Smith.

Sitting l-r:  Casey Davidson, PoCo stick boy, Bryce DiRocco, Ryan Buse, Dawson Marlatt, Liam MacLeod, Nathan Read (C), Sam Visona.

The first game was at 7:15 AM on Thursday morning against Surrey Hurricanes.  The Bulldogs took a while to get their legs going, but in the end ran the score up to 8-1.  Beau Wilson had a goal and four assists and Tyler Wilhelm contributed a goal and 3 assists.  Wilson was named as game MVP for offense and Nathan Read was MVP for defence.  

Thursday afternoon against the South Side Athletic Club out of Edmonton, the bounces all seemed to go to the other team in a game where shots on goal favoured Alberni 35-19.  Edmonton scored first on a power play early in the first period.  Beau Wilson tied it up for Alberni with an assist from Chase Gaudreault early in the second period.  The go ahead goal in the second period went in and out so fast that the referee missed it. Then an icing that was brushed off by the linesman caught the Bulldog defence by surprise, which allowed Edmonton to score and finish with a narrow 2-1 win.  MVPs for the Bulldogs were Ryan Buse on defence and Sam Visona on offence. 

On Friday afternoon the Bulldogs took a while to find their game against host Port Coquitlam Pirates before opening up with 4 goals in the third period to finish at 8-2. They outshot Poco by 46-10.  Chase Gaudreault led the scoring with 2 goals and an assist.  Logan Savard had 3 assists and was named as the offensive MVP.  Dawson Marlatt collected the defensive MVP of the game. 

After the game the team got together for dinner.  After dinner, Read thanked Coach Kevin Somerville for all his work with the team over the season.  Wilson gave similar thanks to Assistant Coach Rob Gaudreault and also acknowledged coach/manager Ron Buse who was unable to be at the tournament.  In responding Somerville noted the talent of the plalyers and also thanked the parents and sponsors, Sure Span Construction and Dave Koszegi of ReMax Realty.

Friday evening was the skills competition where Read and Wilson represented Alberni and contributed points to their black team’s tie with the white team.  Wilson clocked the fastest time of all competitors on the agility drill and was runner up on speed.

The final round robin game on Saturday saw the Bulldogs up against Comox Chiefs.  Because Comox had tied Edmonton earlier, Alberni needed a win to stay in contention for the gold semi-final.  Coach Somerville said, “The team really gelled when they needed to.”  In this game they did everything right against a very competitive team.   Good team puck control and positional play created the first goal for Alberni.  Buse collected a pass back to the right point and put it across to Read who one timed a hard shot from the other side.   The Comox keeper couldn’t contain the rebound and Liam Macleod was right there to put it in top shelf before the goalie could turn back.  In the second period Comox piled into the slot and evened it up at 6:02.  The momentum might have shifted, but barely a minute later Marino Somerville passed to Savard, setting up 2 on 0 rush where Savard put the puck cross crease for Wilson to finish on the right side.  Comox tied it again two minutes later and once again Alberni answered to hold the lead.  This time it was Gaudreault deflecting Tyler Ibsens’s shot from the point to make it 3-2 for Alberni.  The Bulldogs defensive play kept the puck out of their own zone for most of the game and minimized good scoring chances for Comox when it was there.  Both goalies made key saves throughout the game.  Bryce DiRocco was given the nod as MVP defence and MacLeod as MVP offense. 

The win put Alberni Valley into the semi-final on Sunday against undefeated Calgary Blazers.  The game was scoreless for ten minutes until the Alberni defence turned over a Blazer break out attempt inside the blue line. This created an opportunity for Read to pass to MacLeod in the slot for a high shot into the net.  Two minutes later Buse put out a long stretch pass which Wilson chased down deep in the offensive zone and converted.  The next goal came off hard work deep in the Calgary zone.  It finished with a Savard pass to Wilson behind the net from where he put his second goal in off the back of the netminder. Alberni kept up the pressure in the second period and was rewarded at the mid-point when the cycle from Somerville to Spencer Pierce behind the net to Wilson jumping into the slot made the next goal happen.  In the dying seconds of the third period Alberni added one more on a power play. Again good puck control was a factor as the puck went from Visona to Wilson in the left circle to Tyler Wilhelm in the high slot from where he wristed in a hard shot.  MVPs for the 5-0 semi-final win were Wilson on offense and Read on defence. 

Edmonton defeated Kerry Park Islanders in the other semi-final, giving Alberni a rematch and a chance to avenge their only round robin loss in the gold medal game.  They wasted no time.  Somerville and Wilson combined on the first shift to put Alberni up 1-0.  Before the period ended, some well controlled passing from MacLeod to Read to Visona set up a backhand goal at the left post.  In the second period with a man advantage it was from Wilhelm at the blue line to Gaudreault in front and then to Savard to finish from the open side.  Then with under a minute to go Austyn Smith passed to Wilson in the slot to make it 4-0.  In the final frame Savard passed to Pierce at the blue line from where he split the defence and bent the twine at 11:29 with a hard shot under the goalie’s left elbow.   

MVPs for the gold medal game were Savard on offence and Wilhelm on defence.  In addition tournament MVPs included DiRocco in goal and Read on defence.

Coach Somerville summed it up by saying “The kids played hard this weekend.  Due to the injuries that were plaguing us we had to play a real defensive style which ironically created some great offensive opportunities We only had seven goals scored against us in six games ad the final two were shut outs.  I wish we had been playing like this 3 weeks ago in the play offs.  Its great to see this group of kids earn some recognition and finish on a positive note.  They really are a talented bunch.”
