The Alberni Valley Bulldogs defeated the Powell River Kings 5-2 on Friday, February 27, 2026, at the Alberni Valley Multiplex in Port Alberni, British Columbia. The home-ice victory gives the team and local fans a momentum boost as the club enters the final stretch of the regular season.
The visiting team opened the scoring nearly ten minutes into the first period, but Bulldogs forward Kye Benoche responded quickly with a goal to tie the game. The Bulldogs then took control of the match, which was also broadcast for viewers on FloHockey.
This win follows a successful month for the team, which had already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 playoffs earlier in February. Head Coach and General Manager Joe Martin continues to lead the team through a winning season; he is currently under a contract extension that keeps him with the club through the 2026-27 season.
For local residents and businesses, the consistent crowds at the arena provide a helpful economic lift to the community. Fans who want to support the team next year can now purchase early bird season tickets for the 2026-2027 season until the deadline on March 28, 2026.
