Right before the Christmas break the Bulldogs were just up in Spruce Grove where they lost 4-1.
Seen the lineup and there is no Moskowitz. He has been hurt since November or something. Bulldogs announcers mentioned scratches and who is playing yet mentioned nothing about Moskowitz.
Shots on goal in the first period were 11-9 Bulldogs
Ryan Shaw gets his 7th goal of the season from the two Carter’s. Carter Cormier and Carter Patterson. That is Cormier’s first point as a Bulldog.
Cody Pisarcyzk scores his first goal as a Bulldog against his former team at 19:29 of the second period. The assists on the goal went to Collin Eschricht and Trent LeDrew.
Shots in the second period were 13-6 for the Bulldogs.
Former Olds Grizzly/Whitecourt Wolverine Daniel North scores for Saints to make the game 2-1 at 4:44 of the third period. The assists on the goal went to Edmonton native Ethan Kronewitt and Minnesota State commit Evan Sundar.
Carter Cormier scored his first goal as a Bulldogs to make it 3-1 at 14:55 of the final period with the assists going to Ryan Shaw and Luke Dahlen. For Cormier and Pisarcyzk the goals must come as huge loads off their shoulders. Those guys were coming so close for so many games that until this game I just realized they hadn’t scored yet. With their play you wouldn’t of noticed.
With 3:32 remaining in the game the Saints Ashton McNelly scores to put the Saints within one and make the game 3-2. Assists on the goal went to Adam Lang and Lethbridge native Nathan Hawkins.
Layne Loomer scores on the empty net to make it 4-2 Bulldogs with 42 seconds left in the game unassisted.
The Bulldogs got another empty net goal just 18 seconds later when Cody Pisaracyzk netted his second of the game with a gift pass from Josh Knittig. The other assist on the goal went to Captain Kody Willick.

Three Stars of the game were 1) Cody Pisarcyzk 2) Carter Cormier 3) Wilson Maxfield

Bulldogs next game is December 31st New Years eve against the Calgary Canucks at 4pm.
Carter Patterson received a Scholarship to Canisius College in Buffalo, New York. I will add more once I find more. This is well deserved. He was the one player I was really wondering why he hadn’t got one yet and many others across the league had. He is from right near there too. Again good school for a great hockey player.
Sherwood Park added dman Cooper Sharp from the Camrose Kodiaks. He joined “The Cru” after the WJAC. Camrose is in a bit of trouble lately with players exiting although they beat the Oil Barons 5-1 last night.
