Let the 'Border Wars' begin! The two newest teams in the Federal Hockey League, crosstown rivals, the Danbury Titans and the Brewster Bulldogs face off for a pair of games this weekend.Both the Titans and the Bulldogs are owned by two businessmen, who are both rabid hockey fans, Ed Crowe and Bruce Bennett. The question is, when the Titans and Bulldogs go head to head this weekend, who will Ed and Bruce be rooting for?!

The Danbury Titans, coached by Phil Esposito, compiled a 122-69-21 record while coaching the Danbury Whalers over the last four seasons while accumulating three FHL finals appearances and winning the Commissioner's Cup at the end of the 2013 season!

Behind the bench for the Brewster Bulldogs is former Danbury Whalers forward, David Lun. At the tender age of 28, Lun decided to trade in his skates for a suit and is now the Coach of the Bulldogs.

In 94 games with the Whalers, Lun scored 64 points and accumulated 145 penalty minutes.

Coach Esposito, who enjoyed having Lun on his Whaler team, told us on a recent show, that he was happy to take David under his wing and show him the ropes when it came to coaching, but this week leading up to the first battle between the two teams he said, "I had to cut the cord and tell him he's on his own!"
