This years Bisons Day was Saturday Feb. 8, at Snodgrass arena, in support of Chase Morgan! Chase is a local retired Bisons vet that in recent years has been really taking off in the music world (check him out on your Apple music!!)! Chase has never stopped giving back to his community, being a part of countless fundraising charity concerts for local organizations such as Rowan house, and of course, our annual Bisons Day fundraiser! This year its our turn to give a little something back to him! All 4 AA Bisons teams played at Snodgrass arena starting at 11:45am with our newest herd-mates; the RED DOGS (U11AA Bisons) vs Med hat!! The silent auction was ENORMOUS and the Foothills Bisons committee, FMHA, our Bisons community, and those that love Chase Morgan, can't thank everyone that contributed to the day enough!! A totaled donation to be given to Chase Morgan will be provided shortly, we're still tallying up the day! |

Did you know Foothills Bisons day has been going strong for 21 years!? Thats quite a testament to the generosity of our hockey community!
Thank you to everyone that came out and made this 1st Annual Bisons Alumni game a huge success! We had players from 1991through to this years veterans! Special thank you to Noah Fontana, Walker Wilderman, and River Rommens, for officiating our game! A great time was had by all!
Congratulations to Ethan MacIntyre!
Even after Ethan moved on from Bisons to the AAA Oilers, he still came out to cheer on his team mates every chance he got these past few years. This even included hopping on the bus with us numerous times, to far away places like Medicine Hat and Taber. Your Foothills Bisons family could not be happier for you Ethan (don't worry, we'll look after Wyatt)!
Very best of luck in Ontario!
"Ethan is a strong forward that creates opportunities for himself and his line-mates," said Head Coach Jeremy Blumes. "His teammates feel a couple of inches taller and 10 pounds heavier when he's on the ice with them."

Congratulations to Sam Callahan!
Your future just keeps getting brighter! Sam had this to say "When I was talking with the coach he really liked the way I play, I'm a bigger guy obviously, using my size and the way I win battles in the corners and in front of the net are the main things." "One of the most easy going and likeable guys you will ever meet, and a great team mate" is what we say. Best of luck Sam! Click on the image for the full story!
