To the city and residents of Brantford, we know what the Bulldogs mean to you and we take this privilege of being the new leaders of the Bulldogs to heart.
Thank you to Michael Andlauer for the opportunity to make this dream a reality and entrusting me to steward this remarkable franchise into the future. GO DOGS!
