PONTIACS vs. GRIZZLYS

The Bonnyville Pontiacs will try to snap their five game losing streaks against one of the hottest teams in the AJHL. The Olds Grizzlys are winners of six straight and eight of their last 10 to get themselves back into the race for first place in the South.


There is a HUGE bet on this game. It's head shave for cancer night in Olds and an old radio buddy of mine now works in Olds so here's the audio from his morning show this morning.


The Pontiacs are 1-1 in Cancer fundraiser games this year having beat St. Albert on Matt Cook night in Bonnyville on January 2nd but losing to the Steel on pink jersey night on January 24th.

I got this e-mail from a blog reader with too much time on his hands:


I figured out what Bates is looking at.

Yes that's my head on Shawn Bates' body. While he got better looking it's a lot more scary.
