Belleville Bulls News Release
BELLEVILLE, ON - In partnership with the Belleville Minor Hockey Association, the Bulls have launched the Adopt-A-Bull Program presented by InterfaceFLOR Belleville this week.
Each BMHA AA and AE team has adopted their own OHL Bull to spend time in practice with. The big Bulls are also attending team games and providing feedback and encouragement to players.
Charlie Graham (pictured) spent time at the BMHA Bulls Bantam Minor AE practice this week working with goaltender Liam Raycroft (pictured) and players on the team. Charlie joins many of his Bulls teammates out at practices throughout the next few weeks.
"The greatest part about the Adopt-A-Bull Program is the ability to be able to connect with our younger fans and aspiring hockey players," said Bulls Community Relations Coordinator Erica Holgate. "There's nothing that can impact these kids more than seeing and interacting with someone who has worked hard to achieve their dream and set a good example for them as players and individuals."
Bulls players have been spending time on the ice with their respective minor hockey teams, typically dressed in track suits or practice jerseys. "We really want our guys to fit right in with the teams," Holgate added. "Typically when our players are out in the community we'll have them in Bulls jerseys, but in the Adopt-A-Bull program we really want our guys to be on the level of the players on the ice, so we have them wearing track suits or practice gear. We've seen OHL Bulls signing everything from towels to skates to gloves, it's been a real hit!"
Keep an eye out for these Bulls around the rink in coming weeks!
