I was playing around with the UML athletics site. They've decided to audio record the players names across sports... it plays with a simple click. Bob recorded all the hockey players names. I'm not usually one to doubt Bob... but is that REALLY how you pronounce the finnish goalie's name? Is there a mis-spelling I'm missing because it doesn't make sense/doesn't follow.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I noticed that when watching the player profile videos before the start of the season. Here is Chris saying his own name: https://youtu.be/6k0luxcyT9E

Also, on all of the line sheets they post on twitter they have the pronunciation listed as Hahn-betty: https://twitter.com/RiverHawkHockey/...33730573688832

It's nice to see former River Hawk Kim Brandvold getting some credit for his work with the Boston Bruins organization.

Skating tutorials helped Vatrano

Frank Vatrano’s best asset is his shot. But his legs put him in position to let loose his rocket. The Bruins rookie has been good at accelerating in races for the puck. He’s also been effective at maneuvering around defenders once the puck is on his stick. Vatrano credited skating coach Kim Brandvold for helping him progress from collegiate to professional pace, specifically with his edgework, initial strides, and lateral movement. Brandvold first got his hands on Vatrano in July. The forward received more tutoring in Providence from Brandvold before and after practices. “It’s just about keeping your stride simple and staying low,” Vatrano said of Brandvold’s teachings. “It’s something we work on. My inside edges was something I wanted to work on and opening up. For me, it’s about creating offense, and it’s good to have that subtle deception in your stride on defensemen.”

Knew that was coming. I was expecting it to be another dorm, but recreational fields are a plus. That is one thing the campus desperately needs.

agreed... has the neighborhood across the street become good enough that there's enough of a buffer from the crap though? Otherwise, that property will need vigilant monitoring.

Any video coverage for the upcoming Three Rivers Classic?

I checked and it doesn't look like there was a stream for this tournament last season, so I think the radio broadcast is all we'll have.
