College Hockey Slap Schotts: Seeing the lights

Union fans should be pleased with the new lighting. It makes seeing the game that much better. And there aren’t any dark spots on the ice.
And if you are watching the Dutchmen’s games at home, you will notice that the lighting makes it better to view the games. Saturday morning, I caught the third period of Friday’s AIC game that was televised by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, and watching the telecast, you noticed the difference. No dark shadows. It was crystal clear.
I also saw that on the Union video that fans can watch at home. The team has new high-definition cameras, and that has made the video 10 times better.
One benefit of the lighting is that it doesn’t give off as much heat as the previous lighting did. That, in turn, helps keep the ice from getting soft, especially when Messa is packed for a game.
“With the old ones, we had a lot of dead spots,” said Adam Brinker, assistant athletic director of facilities at Union. “They weren’t very bright. They were uneven. The biggest reason [for the change] is the energy savings. These do not give off heat, which is only going to help the ice conditions. It’s colder in here now. It makes for a better ice sheet. The energy savings is going to be enormous.”
