►  No Locke for Dogs

• Corey Locke is the Hamilton Bulldogs all-time leading scorer and has always been a fan favorite wherever he’s played.  The 30-year old Burlington resident is looking for a job but so far, the Canadiens aren’t interested.
• When speaking to the Spec’s Scott Radley, Locke said, “Absolutely I’d come back. I wanted to come back this year. I was hoping to work out something.”
• Radley argues that Locke and 29-year-old Danny Syvret could provide the Bulldogs with veteran scoring punch that the team has been lacking. You can read the full article here.
