The Bristol Drive North Pitbulls are back in action this weekend as we take on the Basingstoke Bison in a double header.
Saturday 20th December – Bristol Pitbulls vs Basingstoke Bison
We take on the Basingstoke Bison for the fourth time this season, hoping to finally skate away with the 2 points. The Bison currently sit 10th place in the league with 17 points and will be hoping for a win after two losses last weekend. Despite this, 2 goals came from Spadafore against the Sheffield Steeldogs making his top scorer title stronger now with 11 goals scored in 21 games. Another player to watch is Brendan Sellan, having 11 assists, he comes behind Spadafore who has 13 so far. The Bison will be after their 9th win and 4th against the Pitbulls this season.
