I will be interested to see just how well the HJ guards do against the Tigers constant pressure. I will also like to see how well the Tigers respond after last nights game. Granted it was against Jasper but the Tigers looked far better than I have seen them lately.

This upcoming game always brings excitement and anticipation. I have wondered what to expect for a while now. Still not sure. Some of HJs outcomes have seemed a little off from what I would expect but I have also seen the Tigers give some performances which definitely weren't up to what I would expect either. Now I am expecting one of the Tigers starters from the last 3 years to be out with an injury for a significant amount of time. It also always seems to happen that for one reason or another the Tigers can never just put HJ away, the games always end up fairly close. Should be fun.

Bridge city is actually the third place team right now having beaten LCM and WOS.
