Hamilton Bulldogs News Release
The Hamilton Bulldogs have announced as promised the opportunity for fans to weigh in on the the name of Hamilton's professional AHL team. 'You Make The Call' also will allow fans the opportunity to choose the colour scheme their team will wear.
"The mandate of our ownership group continues to be one of community involvement and participation," stated Hamilton Bulldogs President Steve Katzman. "To that end we are excited about the community's role in helping determine the future of professional hockey in Hamilton."
Fans are encouraged to visit any Hamilton Tim Hortons franchise to fill in a ballot choosing one of the three names: 'Bulldogs', 'Canadiens', or 'Habs'; as well as the colour scheme that the team will wear: 'Blue, White, Red and Bronze' (current) or 'Red, White & Blue' (Montreal Canadiens).
Fans will also have an opportunity to win two tickets to a select Bulldogs' game in weekly draws by just entering their ballot at Tim Hortons locations throughout the greater Hamilton area.
The Hamilton Bulldogs will look to extend their unbeaten streak to a franchise best 18 games when they host the Milwaukee Admirals at Copps Coliseum on Friday night. Game time is 7:00 p.m. For tickets contact the Bulldogs at (905) 529-8500 or by e-mail at tickets@hamiltonbulldogs.com.
