Bulldogs 2003-04 Schedule Set
July 31, 2003 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
The Hamilton Bulldogs are excited to announce the hockey club's regular season schedule for the 2003-04 season.
The Bulldogs will open their eighth American Hockey League season on the road - Friday, October 10th 2003 at 7:35 p.m. when they travel to Rochester to face the Americans. After playing on Saturday, October 11th in Cleveland against the Barons (7:05 p.m.), the Bulldogs will return to Hamilton for their home opener on Thanksgiving Day â Monday, October 13th at 4:00 p.m. versus their newest division rival, the Toronto Roadrunners.
Of the Bulldogs' 40 home games, 12 will be played on Saturdays, 11 on Fridays, nine on Sundays, five on Wednesdays, two on Mondays, and one on a Tuesday. The Bulldogs will play only eight weeknight games, and three of those dates fall under holidays (Mon., Oct. 13th vs. Toronto â Thanksgiving; Tues., Dec. 23rd vs. Philadelphia â Christmas Holidays; and Mon., Mar.15 âMarch Break).
<< Despite some of the scheduling challenges the Bulldogs were faced with at Copps Coliseum, we received tremendous cooperation from the AHL and ultimately ended up with the best schedule in Bulldogs history, >> stated Hamilton Bulldogs President Steve Katzman.
The Bulldogs will play 58 of their 80 games versus divisional rivals. Hamilton will battle the Roadrunners and St. John's Maple Leafs 12 times, respectively. As well, the Bulldogs will have division match-ups against the Rochester Americans (10 games), the Cleveland Barons (10 games), the Manitoba Moose (8 games) and the Syracuse Crunch (6 games.) These contests with âNorth Division' opponents will have significant importance, as the Bulldogs must go through their division to advance in the Calder Cup 2004 Playoffs.
Also this season, Bulldogs fans will have their first opportunity to watch the Chicago Wolves play on Copps Coliseum ice versus the Bulldogs. Hamilton will host Chicago on Sun., Nov. 11th and Thurs., Mar. 11th.
