Eyes On The Prize, a Montreal Canadiens community

Hamilton Bulldogs President Steve Ostaszewicz spoke to Hockey Central this afternoon, leading up to the team's home opener this Friday.

The Hamilton Bulldogs released their schedule and list of participants to open this year's training camp. Twenty-six forwards, 11 defencemen and five goaltenders will report for medicals and physicals on Friday at the Brossard sportsplex. Just 15 players from this year's camp saw action in Hamilton last season, with only two defensemen suiting up for the Bulldogs in 2011-12. Twenty-six-year-old Frederic St-Denis is the veteran of a very young defensive corps at this year's camp. The Bulldogs also announced that St. Denis, goaltender Cedrick Desjardins and forward Aaron Palushaj have signed AHL deals, enabling them to avoid NHL waivers. The first five days of on-ice camp will be in Sherbrooke, QC, before the team heads to Trenton, ON,for a community skate on Friday Oct. 5. The following Saturday the Bulldogs play their first pre-season game in Cobourg against the Toronto Marlies. The Dogs then head homeward to finish camp, before the season begins on October 12.

There's some controversy over whether the Norfolk Admirals overtime goal should've counted. The rule mentioned in the release states that any goal scored on a delayed offsides does not count unless a team puts the puck into their own net. Not that it matters in the end, because the call on the ice stands, and Norfolk is now up 3-0 in the series. Game 4 is tomorrow at 3 pm Eastern, and it ought to be very interesting.

Not a lot of new info here, but an update on how the prospects are doing.

CBC signed a one-year broadcast deal with the AHL. They will show games on Sunday afternoons.

I get these travel deals e-mailed to me every week, the Marlies have a whole ton of tickets for 50% off, the games are listed on the website I've linked to. I do wonder why they have a photo of Phil Oreskovic up, though.

Checking From Behind managed to get some video clips of the recent Marlies vs. Heat game, where Christian Hanson played exactly like the guy the Leafs need.
