Hear from the players

We sat down with players Austin Lotz, Mike Davis, Troy Mactavish and Johnny Pace and talked about what itβs like to come here to Alabama and be a part of a team like the Bulls.
βItβs a lot of adapting to new people. Weβre getting people from all over the States, all over Canada and even a couple from overseas. You gotta get out of your comfort zone and make new friends with these guys. When everybody does that and really just forms that bond, the team will be successful at the end of the day.β
Johnny Pace, Birmingham Bulls
They all agreed that playing a sport and being a part of a team has had a huge impact on their life and continues to do so.
βWeβve all been playing since we were such a young age, so weβve seen how hockey and all team sports really teach you life skills, because we know you canβt play sports forever. This game teaches us valuable lessons that we continue to learn over the years. Playing a team sport teaches you to mature at a younger age as well.β
Mike Davis, Birmingham Bulls

The Bulls are back at it


The players, like most of us, are excited to see things get back to normal as they enter this new season.
βThe past two years, especially 2020, were a mental grind because games were getting canceled the morning of. So when you prepare for a game, youβre putting your body in the right mental state for all that and then youβd come to find out youβre not playing. It was very tough for us mentally as well as physically. So Iβm very excited to start this new season and chapter off.β

The Bulls experience

If youβve never gone to a Bulls gameβyou need to. Some of the best things about the Birmingham Bulls are the amazing fans and the exciting atmosphere at every single game. Thatβs been one of the coolest parts of coming here to play in Alabama for these guys.
βComing down South, we didnβt really know what to expect. It blew me away when I got here to see the support that the team gets and how invested the fans are. Itβs really cool and itβs nice to see that the game can grow down here too. That was the coolest part for me.β
Austin Lotz, Birmingham Bulls
