Welcome to the forum Sparkee.
As far as I know there wont be any video footage of the first game. I was only able to make it to the rink for the second game
” title=”Sad” />Ryan,
I spent most of my time on the other side of the rink away from the spectators so my impression of the sound quality is probably fairly warped since I was one of the few standing over there.
Ryan,

Ryan,
Most of the videos are there now, am just missing the last high res one and the mega huge combined footage.
Ryan,
Er, it turns out she never actually booked anything. So I guess this is unlikely to go head unless she can get a booking before Wednesday. I’ll post back once I hear something from her.
Ryan,
It won’t make any difference. They both use Flash video so will have the same problem I think. Youtube doesn’t have these problems coz they use lower quality clips but I figured people would rather have the better quality ones. Plus I’m lazy. Feel free to upload them yourself though.
Ryan,
You guys know that drill that Bode got us to do in the intermediate practice on Thursday night? The one where you go screaming along, hit the brakes and mid-slide do a 360 whilst holding the puck, deking a fake defenseman and then keep going?
Yeah, don’t try that on wheels … it gets messy!

The sound system in there is pretty shit so you’re never going to get it perfect. The use of music, horns etc. was spot on. I tried doing that job for the Cadbury cup (or Easton Cup? I can’t remember) and I kept mucking it up, it’s harder than it looks. Timing is crucial which you did a good job on.
I did have trouble hearing you speaking a lot of the time, not because of the volume, that was about right, but the sound was too distorted. I’d recommend not doing the boxing style announcement of the players at the start of the game. Feels a little to American for my liking, although others may like it.
It’s definitely useful being able to hear what the penalties were for, who scored them etc. However it would be even better if there was less of a delay between the penalty, goal etc. and when you announce it – not your area obviously but something which be good if it could be speeded up. Is announcing things before they’re official an option? Ie: you make the call on who the goal was by and what the call was for (if you can see the refs hand gesture). Personally I couldn’t give a rats ass if it’s official or not, I just want to know roughly whats going on.

Ryan,
My two cents worth …
I haven’t had a problem with adults yelling from the sidelines, mainly coz I didn’t start playing hockey till I was an adult, but it always bugs me when my teammates do the same thing from the bench. There’s no point yelling at your teammate to do something when they’re 20+m away from you, the most they’ll hear is a garbled comment and their name and you’ll distract them. If they’re doing something wrong then yelling at them while they’re doing it rarely helps. Wait till they’re back on the bench and quietly explain their error, they’ll learn more, it won’t bug your teammates and drag your team moral down and best of all your team will play better as a result.

BUMP!
Don’t forget there’s an official NHL Endorsed T-shirt for the winner!
Ryan,
This tends to stop goalies really well. We call it the karate deke. Unfortunately the prison time for slicing your oppositions head off rules you out of playing for the next 20 seasons or so.

Reminds me of some of the moves Jono Wills taught me when I first started playing.
Ryan,
Two can play at this game
” title=”Smiley” />This reminds me of the first time I played against Matt Aitken! Those suicide runs on poor Becky in goal were hilarious – although I suspect Becky didn’t think so!

Congratulations to Stefan!!! Well deserved
