Alberni Valley visits Surrey on Saturday for Game 1
Callum Tung is fashioning one of the greatest crease stories in the six-decade-plus history of the B.C. Hockey League as he has backstopped the Alberni Valley Bulldogs into the Coastal Conference final. The six-foot-three goaltender, headed next season to the NCAA with the University of Connecticut Huskies, has a downright stingy .942 save percentage and 1.96 goals-against average in the playoffs and has been named game first star in five consecutive games.
“I don’t know if I’ve seen a goaltending performance like this in the playoffs in my time in the BCHL. It’s been special to watch. That’s why you have a 20-year-old goaltender.” “There’s that old argument of staying sharp by playing, but at this time of year, you take rest every time,” said Michaud.The well-rested Bulldogs open the best-of-seven Coastal Conference final tonight and Sunday on the South Surrey Arena’s Olympic-size ice sheet.
The Coastal Conference final swings to the Island for the third and fourth games on Wednesday and Thursday nights.“We have been playing to 115 per cent capacity and the atmosphere is incredible. Skating out to a packed crowd at home is special for our guys and gives them a lift. And merchandise has been flying out of the team store.”
