The Bellingham Bulldogs got their start in 2008 when Dick McKinley and
Jeff Fisher purchased the Northwest Avalanche from Craig Jackson.
The Bulldogs applied for entry into the Pacific Northwest Football
Conference, however the PNFC decided to merge with the Evergreen
Football League. The EFL accepted the Bulldogs and the newest team
in Bellingham began its quest for an EFL title.
After a 3-6 finish in 2008, the Bulldogs
decided to try their luck in the summer leagues and departed the
Evergreen League for the NAFL in hopes of attracting players from
British Columbia disenchanted with the team options in Vancouver.
This move proved fruitful as the Bulldogs
opened the '09 season against the Langley (BC) Longhorns dominating the
Canadian contingent 49-0 and reeling off 11 straight victories on their
way to a date with the Renegades in the NAFLNw Championship. In
that game the Renegades found the Bulldogs and the 10-hour road trip too
much to overcome. A tough St. Paul Pioneers team fresh off a win
over the storied Racine Raiders came to Bellingham from Minnesota and
walked away with a 5-point victory ending the Bulldogs Cinderella
season. |
