David Michaud, the former co-owner and president of the Alberni Valley club, who built the Bulldogs into what they became, is now in his first season as president of the Grizzlies.
The Alberni Valley Bulldogs, the most recent Island powerhouse in the B.C. Hockey League, will be the visitors in the Victoria Grizzlies’ regular-season home opener Friday night at the Q Centre.
“Alberni is a team I know well and it’s going to feel a little strange at first. But once the puck drops, there are no friends. This is a big early-season test for both teams. believes he has a good team, and we do, too.” Hartshorne, who bought majority interest in the Grizzlies in May, has brought Michaud down-Island and given him the job of running the Grizzlies.That included playing to more than 100 per cent of seating capacity at the Port Alberni Multiplex the past few seasons. Mixing that marketing magic with on-ice success is the goal in Colwood with the Grizzlies.
