Mount Brydges and Strathroy Area
Mount Brydges Bulldogs: Bite and Bark Andy Friyia, President of the Mount Brydges Bulldogs Junior Hockey Club, admits that his duties have ever so slightly grown in scope. “This position went from one hour a week to multiple hours a day,” Andy laughs. Fortunately, the Bulldogs seem to be flourishing under his tutelage. Last month, they achieved a historic victory by reaching the finals. The team then put up a valiant offense through the playoffs before ultimately losing to the Lakeshore Canadiens. Even still, the team performed some incredible feats across the ice, including winning the 2025-2026 PJHL Yeck Division Championships. In his season-end message, Andy expresses his enduring love for both the game and the league: “This season will also be remembered as a historic one for our organization,” Andy writes. “Capturing the Yeck Division Championship, our first since 2005 and our first as members of the PJHL, is an incredible achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our players, coaches, and staff. It is a milestone that everyone associated with the Bulldogs can take great pride in.”
Now, as Andy and the league looks towards the next season, they encourage the community to turn out for future games. “We’re always thinking about how to engage the community,” Andy states. “We have some amazing businesses in the area that have sponsored us. If you look at the other seven teams in the area, our support is second-to-none. But it would be great to see more fans at the games! Hockey is for everyone. All are welcome!” More information about the Bulldogs is available at: www.bulldogsjrhockey.com.
