BCHL Alumni March Madness launched
With no playoff hockey, I decided to come up with a @GoBCHL Alumni March Madness.
Round 1 will be tweeted out today with polls for 48 hours.
There are some interesting match-ups and potential for upsets – so get your votes in! #BCHLAMM #BCHL #BCHLNetwork pic.twitter.com/TsTZRF9Rcf

There’s two weeks left in the month and with the BCHL season cancelled, I thought it might be a fun idea to look at a March Madness bracket of BCHL alumni. Voting is on my Twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/brian_wiebe.
