Brantford Bulldogs News Release


The Brantford Bulldogs bounced back last week, ending their five-game losing streak with a 6-3 win against one of the OHL's pre-season favourites, the Brampton Steelheads.

The Bulldogs outscored the Colts 11-3 last year at the Brantford Civic Centre, going 2-0 vs Barrie, including their 5-2 win during the Teddy Bear Toss game. Cole Brown registered three assists in these two victories and will look to keep it up on Wednesday.

Game 2: Saturday, November 16th vs Brampton Steelheads

The Bulldogs will take on the Brampton Steelheads (8-8-2-0) in their third matchup of the season. The two teams have split the 2024-25 season series 1-1.

The Steelheads will look to take the lead back on Saturday in the season series' first trip to the Civic Centre.

Game 3: Sunday, November 17th @ Niagara IceDogs

The Bulldogs will head to Niagara to take on the IceDogs (13-5-0-0) in a Sunday matinee game. The IceDogs lead the season series 1-0.
