    Ryan its actually listening to Aaron rant for 3 hours or so……if anyone has any ideas for intermission interviews I am willing to listen…. or if anyone wants to be interviewed at intermissions….

    Um Ryan we are setting up the lighting and music tomorrow night. So I guess we could trial the broadcast then….find out from Wick when we are doing that

    I am totally sure people will pay for it… or at least Tom will or if the booster club gets massive membership, they may have funds for commentary….

    I would imagine we wouldn’t want to spend too much money if any…..

    But I am just a pretty face and a great voice…

    I have no say or financial clout…. talk to Wick.. who could talk to Al, and see what we could arrange….

    Ryan see my PM

    Otherwise Ryan or Rhys? they are the men with the hook ups….

    I will be calling the game regardless even if its only to Tom and Reagan sitting right behind me and Rhys and Ryan on either side of me… tom told me he would listen if  I don’t get a medium capable of a wider audience…

    Well….if the people demand it I will provide the commentary…

    So any volunteers to co-commentate?… I think Wick could be brought in… I liked doing the play by play so a big picture man would be what I was looking for… Easy solve then my big picture man can do intro well I am doing the team list and stuff, and whenever I need to announce goal or penalty he can take over as well.. please note these are not the only times i will let him/her talk but these times they will definately need to talk….

    Um kyle I sound like an idiot even when I am not talking for hours on end…. Last weekend  I got most of the names straight away, with the opposing team it might take a little more looking

    I will still need a helper monkey to relay info from the box i think, because last year the score ladies cou;dn’t deal with technology… I am meeting wick tonight to talk about announcing, so I will be better informed of how much i need to do by tonight

    Well I am keen to do it, and I don’t mind people listening, and I would appreciate feedback, negative or positive…..

    My only issue is having to do game announcing as well, but I guess that would only be minor gaps in the commentary when the goals and penalty info has officially been given to me… unless someone else wants to volunteer to do that… or my helper monkey could hold the fort on the commentary well I did that…. I would need another person  beside me to relay the info from walkie talkies from scorebox giving us official info…..

    No offense to referees but last year me and ryan wrote down who we saw score and do the assists of the goals, and a few times it differed wildly from the referees account

    I would need to be set up in one of those wee padded seat places to see the game, I tried with the intersquad game in the weekend and could see quite well from there…..

    I don’t think the rink has a decent internet connection, and if it does, there are no jacks up where we would be able to commentate from…

    I think we stick with simple broadcast within the rink first….Would there be interest though?

    I can pretty much call the game, might need a colour man to fill in some gaps, when I have to announce the goal scorers and penalties over the PA system… is that practical would the PA create feedback over the radio broadcast if they were too close together… is there a way to have both happening at once? ie once i get officially confirmation of goal scorer or penalty flick a switch and whatever i do on PA come on broadcast too?

    Also if this went a head, it would be quite good to get people like kyle to come in for ten minutes and talk about rules, or some senior hockey members to come down and give their view on the game….

    We are doing soundcheck for game announcing (PA) on thursday or friday…

    Well I think we should discuss this further… maybe not for the first game, but definately for subsequent games….. I quite enjoyed commentating for the eight people sitting around me last night… I don’t know how I did…. I would be interested in hearing from those around me…. and having a two people would definately help….

    So if there was enough interest I would definately consider reprising my role for a wider audience

    Yeah Kyle they were along the lines I was thinking… hence my practise run last night… however i have no idea how to actually broadcast…..

    I am waiting for a review from Tom or Regan? Who actually heard me….

    Um Ryan the Budget didn’t allow us to have a pair in the commentary box, so I took it upon myself to do the commentary like a local radio, where the play-by-play announcer slips in some colour comments…..

    I did however have enough money in the budget for some bench reporters but they all sucked so I fired them….

    However, if the public demands different voices for play-by-play and colour I can work on that….
