SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – The San Francisco Bulls Professional Hockey Team, proud affiliate of the San Jose Sharks, announced today that they have acquired forwards Christian Ouellet and Rylan Galiardi, and defenseman Cody Carlson from the Gwinnett Gladiators in exchange for forward Justin Bowers and defenseman Sacha Guimond.

“It’s always hard to move one of your best players, especially your captain, but we felt after the lockout our lineup was depleted,” said President/Head Coach Pat Curcio. We wanted to add some young skill to our team. When we lost Sacha to his call up, we were unsure we would get him back with the way he was playing, so we traded his rights for a young defenseman. We wish Justin and Sacha all the best the rest of the season and in the future.”

Tonight the Bulls are in action as they face off against the Ontario Reign before they the hit the Christmas break.  Last night San Francisco squared off against the Reign at the Cow Palace where they ended up loosing at a final score of 3-1.  That contest featured a shorthanded tally that was converted by leading goal scorer of Ontario, Colton Yellow Horn.  Yellow-Horn also added another goal late in the game when he scored an empty netter to the put the game out of reach for the Bulls.  For the Bulls Marek Viedensky was their only goal scorer.  In addition, Viedensky was struck late in the game where he took stick to the back of the leg and did not return.  Furthermore, Marek did not join the team on the road as he is nursing his lower body injury.  The puck is set to drop at 6:00p at the Citizens Business Bank Center.  The game can heard on KNBR.com and be seen live on America One Sports.  Lets Go Bulls!!!!!!!
