Saturday saw Bulldogs forward Ethan Bono lead the team to a 4-3 overtime win against the Cowichan Valley Capitals with his first BCHL hat trick. The other Bulldogs goal in the win came from Josh Van Unen.

The upcoming week is a busy one for the Bulldogs, starting with a home game against the Powell River Kings on Wednesday, Feb. 16. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. The team will travel to Victoria on Friday before returning home on Saturday to face Chilliwack.
