The Hamilton Bulldogs will be holding ‘820 CHAM Stuffed Animal Night' on Saturday, December 10, when the Bulldogs host the Houston Aeros (7:00 p.m.) for the first time since Game 7 of the 2003 Calder Cup Finals. Bulldogs fans are encouraged to bring a new stuffed toy and toss it on the ice after the Bulldogs first goal!
