The Hamilton Bulldogs, American Hockey League affiliate of the Montreal Canadiens, announced that the Club has reached an agreement with Montreals TSN Radio 690 to simulcast all Hamilton Bulldogs home and away games during the month of October. . TSN Radio 690s coverage will commence with the Hamilton Bulldogs 2012-2013 season-opener on Saturday versus the Grand Rapids Griffins. Coverage begins with a pre-game show 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. TSN Radio 690s full schedule of games, which is subject to change, is below. Calling Hamilton Bulldogs games on TSN Radio 690 will be the broadcast team of Derek Wills and Al Craig. Currently in his 12th season as Hamilton Bulldogs Hockey Network Play-By Play Announcer, Wills will call all home and away games. Wills, 36, has called a number of historically significant games such as the AHLs Conference Finals on five occasions (2002, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2011) and the Calder Cup Finals twice (2003, 2007). Entering the 2012-2013 season, Wills has called 995 consecutive regular season and post-season Hamilton Bulldogs games, the longest current streak for any broadcaster in the AHL. Craig, currently in his 11th full season as Hamilton Bulldogs Hockey Network Colour Commentator, will join Wills in the broadcast booth for all home games and select away games. Craig, 63, served as the Hamilton Bulldogs first play-by-play announcer from 1996-1999 and was the Sports Director at Hamiltons AM 900 CHML for 23 years. During his 43-year broadcasting career, Craig has covered a wide variety of sports and leagues, including the 1972 Summit Series, the 1987 and 1991 Canada Cups, the 1992 and 1993 World Series, the 1997, 2003 and 2007 Calder Cup Finals as well as the National Hockey League, Major League Baseball and Canadian Football League.

Edmontons Jen Kish scored an early try for the Canadian women but Russia pulled ahead to lead 14-5 at the half. ATLANTA -- Chipper Jones always seems to come through on big occasions. Even bobblehead night. Jones homered twice on a night when a big crowd turned out to get a souvenir from his farewell season, and the Atlanta Braves won their 15th straight game with Kris Medlen as a starter, beating the San Diego Padres 6-0 on Thursday. Seizing the moment before a weeknight turnout of 33,157 -- more than the previous two nights combined -- Jones hit a two-run homer in the first, then added a towering solo shot over the wall in centre field in the fifth. "If we have to make some silly bobblehead things to get people in the stands, so be it. Keep doing it," Jones said, breaking into a big smile. "We get motivated to play every night, but there are certain nights when its special, whether certain family members are in the seats, or its your birthday, or its bobblehead night." For the 40-year-old Jones, who is retiring after this season, it was his first multihomer game in more than three years and gave him 12 homers in what is turning out to be quite a final year. He raised his team-leading average to .315 and came out of the dugout for a curtain call after both drives, the second of which was his 2,700th career hit. Oh, and the third baseman also made a diving grab, flipping the ball from his stomach to get a force at second. "You always want to make a splash and bring people to their feet," Jones said. "This is just another of a handful of games this year that have been awfully special to me." Jason Heyward also homered for the Braves, but this night belonged to Jones. And dont forget Medlen, who turned in the first complete game of his career with a five-hit shutout. "Hes more than stated his case to be in the rotation from here on out," Jones said. "The guy just wins ballgames. Its awfully comforting as a player to know your guy is going to hold them to a minimum amount of runs." Medlen (4-1) did what he always seems to do as a starter -- ensure the Braves of a victory. In between his frequent stints as a reliever, Atlanta has won 15 consecutive times when the right-hander begins the game since May 2010. That is the longest current streak in the majors and ties the franchise record set by John Smoltz during his Cy Young Award-winning season in 1996. "He pounds the strike zone," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "Guys love to play behind him." Medlen wont be in a line for a Cy Young, but hes proven to be one of the Braves most reliable pitchers no matter what role hes put in. He also showed off his defensive skills, snagging a liner in the first and spinning around to throw out his counterpart, Jason Marquis, at the plate as he attempted to score on a third-inning grounder. "He was able to throw a complete game because he can field his position," Gonzalez said. "Very few guys in our rrotation, maybe in the majors, makes that play early in the game where he throws out Marquis at the plate. [url=http://www.ramsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-rodger-saffold-jersey-rv-6... Saffold Jersey. Usually you go to first base on that play, including me. I was looking over at first." Michael Bourn led off the game for Atlanta with a double just inside the first-base bag, but it looked as though Marquis (6-7) might escape the jam when Martin Prado lined out to second and Heyward struck out. But Jones drove a 3-2 pitch into the seats in right, staking Medlen to an early lead. While he has to take frequent days off to rest his aging, battered body, Jones tries to build his schedule around special events such as the bobblehead night. "People tell me all the time theyre coming to games and we hope youre playing, its going to be the last time we see you play," Jones said before batting practice. "I take that to heart." The crowd was appreciative when he came up again in the fifth, right after Heyward homered with two outs for a 3-0 lead. Jones followed suit, connecting on a fat pitch that left Marquis standing on the mound, hands on his knees, not even bothering to look. Center fielder Cameron Maybin made a halfhearted leap at the wall, but that was just to get a better look. This one cleared it with plenty to spare, while Jones rounded the bases in that familiar trot of his. The Braves werent done in the fifth, either. Freddie Freeman walked, Dan Uggla doubled, and Brian McCann was walked intentionally to load the bases. That was it for Marquis, the Padres turning to Brad Boxberger to face Paul Janish. The move backfired when the light-hitting shortstop singled to centre to bring home two more runs. The way San Diego has been hitting, they could have called the game right then. Even though manager Bud Black called off batting practice, hoping it would give the bats a boost, the Padres were shut out for the second time in three nights by the Braves, sandwiched around a 6-1 loss. "We hit the ball on the nose a couple of times hard early in the game," Black said. "We just couldnt get anything going after that."

With Hansons return, the Braves will temporarily go to a six-man rotation to help cope with a stretch of 20 games in 20 days. Atlantas next day off is Aug. 30. Gonzalez considers this a tryout to determine who the best five starters are for the stretch drive. ' ' '
