It is with deepest regrets and sympathy for the Dryer Family that we announce the passing of one of our long time and beloved Coaches, Brian 'Buck' Dryer. Buck has coached with Bulldogs Football and St. Albert Minor Football for a very long time. His 4 sons, Craig, Brady, Todd, Andy and his wife Cheryl were all valuable members of Bulldogs Football and they helped shape it into what it is today. Bulldogs Football are re-naming the Junior Varsity trophy " Outstanding Sportsmanship & Dedication" to the Brian 'Buck' Dryer Memorial Trophy, so that his legacy will live on.
R.I.P. Coach Buck, you have left a mark on our heart and soul, you will be missed.
