Friday in Sherbrooke, the Hamilton Bulldogs were back to work and getting ready for the 2012-13 season. 43 Players were on hand and hope that they can make it to the next best thing to the NHL, the AHL. With the NHL lockout in progress, more attention will be put onto the AHL and the Bulldogs. So they better be ready to play come October 13th, especially if the games get televised (which is a high possibility).“I’m excited to get going. I’ve spent the last few months since I was named coach thinking of new ideas and strategies and preparing for the season,” said Lefebvre, who was appointed new as the new coach in June. “It’s fun to get things started today. When you’re a coach, all you want to do is lace up the skates and get out there with your team. Preparation is all well and good but there’s nowhere you want to be more than with your players.” The Bulldogs season begins on October 13th when Hamilton travel to Grand Rapids to take on the Griffins.
