Here an excerpt from the Canadiens.com article by Heather Engel who did a great interview with Hamilton Bulldogs head coach, Don Lever:
The Bulldogs did just that. Twice, in fact. They opened their season with a pair of back-to-back victories over the Manitoba Moose on Friday and Saturday. It was the first time Hamilton had won its first two games since the 2002-03 campaign and while it’s only two games, Lever was pleased with what he saw in his kids’ triumph against a veteran-laden Manitoba squad.
“There were a lot of things I liked. Yannick Weber was great on the back end and David Desharnais has played well, too. I especially like seeing guys succeed in roles they might not be used to,” said Lever. “I experimented with Ben Maxwell on the point during the power-play, which seemed to work really well. He’s also been clicking with Greg Stewart and Ryan Russell to form a really solid checking line for us.” But it wasn’t just the freshmen who impressed in their debuts.
