Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
The Hamilton Bulldogs announced today their 2004-05 eighty-game regular season schedule. For the fourth consecutive season the Bulldogs will open the season on the road, when they make their first ever trip to Edmonton to face the Roadrunners at Rexall Place on Friday, October 15th at 9:00 p.m. Following a Saturday, October 16th game in Edmonton, the Bulldogs will return to Hamilton for their ninth AHL regular season home opener on Sunday, October 17th, as they host the Manitoba Moose for a 4:00 p.m. start at Copps Coliseum.
The Bulldogs will play 56 of their 80 games versus North Division opponents. Hamilton will face the St. JohnÃs Maple Leafs and Edmonton Roadrunners 12 times each, respectively. Also, the Bulldogs will play the Rochester Americans (10 games), Manitoba Moose (8 games), Cleveland Barons (8 games) and Syracuse Crunch (6 games).
Hamilton will see four teams from the AHLÃs West Division including the defending Calder Cup Champion Milwaukee Admirals. The Bulldogs will play the Admirals a total of four times, as well as take on the Chicago Wolves (4 games), Grand Rapids Griffins (4 games), and Cincinnati Mighty Ducks (4 games).
The Bulldogs will round out the schedule by playing four teams from the Eastern Conference - two times each, respectively. Those teams include: the Albany River Rats, Binghamton Senators, Philadelphia Phantoms, and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
"Overall we are very pleased with our home schedule, as we were able to acquire good dates for our fans," said Hamilton Bulldogs Majority Owner, Governor & Chairman Michael Andlauer. "The Bulldogs would like to thank H.E.C.F.I. (Hamilton Entertainment and Convention Facilities Inc.) for their support in coordinating these dates."
"Our travel schedule will be tougher on our players than we would have liked," added Andlauer. "For example, we are playing our home opener on an afternoon after playing two straight night games in Edmonton. However, it is a lot better than what our first draft looked like ten days ago. I want to thank Bulldogsà Executive Director of Operations, Brian Lewis, for his countless hours of negotiating with other AHL teams in moving our road schedule to better accommodate our players."
The Bulldogs will play 32 of their 40 home games on weekends, with 16 contests on Fridays, eight games on Saturdays, and eight games on Sundays. The Bulldogs will round out the home schedule with seven Wednesday dates and one home game on a Monday. All Friday games will now begin at 7:30 p.m. As well, all Sunday games will take place at 4:00 p.m. with the exception of the Sunday, October 31st game versus Manitoba, which will have a 2:00 p.m. matinee start. All remaining games will begin at 7:00 p.m.
