Hockey Back in Johnstown: My Thoughts From My First NAHL Game

Sun, 04 Nov 2012 22:16:27 -0500

The final horn has sounded and the Johnstown Tomahawks fell to the Springfield Jr. Blues 6 to 4. All in all though, it was a really fun game to watch. Here are some random thoughts I had now that the game is over.

Being that this is a junior hockey league I knew going in that these would be teenagers on the ice but it still was an adjustment to see just how small these kids were compared to the pros of the ECHL just a few years ago.
Along with there smaller size, the other adjustment I had to make was the skill level. There are a lot of rough edges in the game at this level and that is to be expected since they are still learning. However, this does make you appreciate the smaller points of the game that normally go unnoticed watching NHL hockey. Just watching one of the kids successfully clear the zone on a penalty kill or deke past an opponent can be very exciting.
On a personal note, if you don’t know the game very well, please don’t yell out like a dumbass. I will not tell anyone they can’t be excited and get into the game, but don’t yell stupid stuff like, “Screw icing, get the puck” if you don’t understand how icing works. This is really just a note to the woman that sat behind me the entire game. I can’t stand people who don’t understand the very basics of this sport.
Andrew McDonald, a forward for the Tomahawks, was one of my favorite players to watch today. He’s not a big kid but he will throw is body around and is general very hungry for the puck. He could have a bright future.
One final thought, I really feel for the goaltenders in the NAHL. Many games in this league are high scoring affairs and this may have to do with the goaltenders being very rough. This is not a knock against them. After all, goaltending is the toughest job in the game of hockey and it takes great skill and instinct to make it in the pros. These kids are still learning those instincts and that will take a lot of time and practice. That being said, it must wear on them letting in one goal much less four goals a game.

Download "Running Out of Places to Go" by The Swellers:

I keep saying it but The Swellers are starting to be one of the few bands that never disappoint me. That’s not something I can say regularly anymore. So do yourself a favor and get this track free from Rolling Stone. Don’t forget to pick up the rest of this EP too.

The Swellers — El Scorcho (Weezer cover)

This really just makes sense that The Swellers would cover a Pinkerton Weezer tune since “Warming Up” sounds so much like a lost B-side from that album. Can’t say enough about these guys and I highly recommend their latest EP Running Out of Place to Go which you can find right here.

Hello, Brooklyn Nets

Want to see more? Browse through the official stadium hashtag #hellobrooklyn or the Barclays Center’s official location page

The Barclays Center — a $4.9 billion dollar multi-purpose indoor arena — opened just one week ago and it has already gathered an extensive fan base spanning tech-lovers, architect aficionados, and basketball fans alike!

Presented as the most high-tech stadium in sports, and home to the first major league Brooklyn sports team since the departure of the Dodgers to Los Angeles in 1957, Brooklyn Nets fans will be able to enjoy free Wi-Fi designed to withstand the pressure of a full stadium, as well as an application designed to help patrons order & pay for food from the comfort of their seats.

The most impressive feature of the new stadium is the Oculus, a giant 360-degree outdoor LED marquee built into the structure’s latticework of 12,000 preweathered steel panels, a design meant to evoke the image of Brooklyn’s brownstones.

This video is from this past TED conference and it is a very interesting look into how internet videos go viral. Kevin Allocca, YouTube’s Trends Manager, discusses how only a small percentage of videos go from obscurity to notoriety. One statistic Allocca mentioned that surprised me the most was that every minute, an average of 48 hours of footage is uploaded to YouTube. I imagine that very little of that footage is actually worth watching though.

Just picked up SSX myself and I must say I am loving it. The Deadly Descents are a great new addition and the gameplay is classic arcade SSX. I can see me playing this for quite some time.
