Blackfalds Bulldogs headed to Calgary to play their final regular season road game winning 3-2.
Canucks scored first with Caden Steinke scoring just 1:20 into the game. Assists went to Rylan Jockims and Justin Barker. I can’t tell you if it was a nice goal, a bad goal or how he scored it as the feed went down (again) I thought that only happened in Olds 🤔 Anyway it came back up.
At 7:38 of the first period Tyler Wallace passed the puck out to Brett Meerman who fired it on the net and Jayden Joly was there to get the rebound. Thats Joly’s 23rd of the season he has been scoring alot as of late. Canucks outshot the Bulldogs 13-10 in the first period. Not a single call was made in the first period at all. The only thing I seen the ref do was get hit with the puck.
Kurt Gurkan makes it 2-1 from a nice pass from Jason Siedem. Thats Gurkan’s 8th goal of the season at 2:18 of the second.
With less than a minute remaining in the second period Gurkan scored his second of the night and makes it 3-1 with one hand on his stick! Assists on that goal went to Otto Hanson and Connor Dick. Former Drumheller Dragon Sam Lozinski scored for the Canucks with just over 4 minutes left in the game to get the Canucks with in one, but it wasn’t enough and Blackfalds got the win.
Other Notes
Bulldogs next game is Saturday January 25th against the Drumheller Dragons in Blackfalds at 6pm.
Tonight worked out great for the Bulldogs 👍 Okotoks LOST and Drumheller LOST. It is looking more and more like it will be a Calgary Canucks VS Blackfalds Bulldogs first round playoff match up.
Canucks outshot the Bulldogs 36-34.

Blackfalds Bulldogs Jason Siedem and Calgary Canucks Riley Hearn both played in AJHL game 100 tonight👍
Love when Sam Lozinski hit the post on a breakaway in the 2nd and Zolin patted the post like he thanked it lol
HockeyTV feed started with no announcer then went down for about 4 minutes (Missed the first goal)* Had to go to Mixr for a bit. Last few games there hasn’t been an option to listen to the Bulldogs announcers.
Bulldogs signed defenceman Matt Hanscom for next season. He is committed to RPI and is from Massachusetts.
Calgary Canucks will host the 2023 AJHL Showcase. Which was held in Blackfalds last year.
