The Preliminary Round at the 2015 World Junior Championships has come to an end and all four representatives from the Montreal Canadiens are moving on to the Medal Round.

The 2015 World Juniors are almost upon us which means two things.

Although the Bulldogs were unsurprisingly hovering around the .500 mark at the one-quarter mark of the season, there were quite a few surprises along the way.

Recently, the Hamilton Bulldogs passed the one-quarter mark of their 2014-15 season.

November is behind us and Christmas looms ever more mightily. Which, for hockey fans, means only one thing: the World Juniors are near.

November was a good month for the Canadiens organization. The Bulldogs were able to win a few games and stay away from the division basement while several junior prospects had strong months as well.

With October having come and gone, the first full month of hockey is now in the books.

Another month has passed and the worldwide hockey calendar is in full swing.

For the first time in a few years, there is legitimate optimism when it comes to the Hamilton Bulldogs.
