NESN announced in an email tonight they were not renewing the contract of Bruins reporter Naoko Funayama. Fans aren't taking it well.

Always wondered about that hire. She comes across like a real reporter and not like the eye candy (e.g. Heidi Watney and Hazel Mae) or goofballs (Rob Simpson) that NESN usually hires.
 
Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over

Watching this parade, it finally hit me that the Hawks are champs again. So, so sweet. :)


Of all the people I'm happy for (besides myself :p), Crawford is at the top of the list. He looks incredibly happy.

Couldn't help but notice that these ladies were on the busses...


It's parade day. GO HAWKS!!!

I'd never heard of this, and now I'm curious what the largest complex currently is. In Blaine, a northern suburb, we have a complex with eight rinks - 6 American standard and 2 Olympic rinks. That must be near the top of the list.

Kingsbridge is a rehab of a 180,000 square foot armory with 105,000 square feet on a lower level, dating to 1917. The proposal is to have 9 rinks, a 5,000 seat arena, and a 50,000 square foot community center. If that Blaine complex with 8 rinks has already been surpassed then maybe they're saying the square footage will be the largest? It's just a massive, massive building.

I just decided to look up the Blaine info after reading your post. Curiosity and all. http://www.nscsports.org/page/show/475102-schwan-super-rink

The Schwan Super Rink is the largest ice arena of its kind in the world. This state-of-the-art facility features eight sheets of ice under one roof.

The $21 million project totals over 300,000 square feet. Included in the arena is the pleasant, 70 degree Hat Trick Café that overlooks four of the sheets, 32 oversized locker rooms that provide comfortable quarters for all user groups, a pro shop for your ice sport needs, and extensive dryland training facilities for hockey and figure skating.

With the major expansion in 2006, two new dryland training facilities were added to the Schwan Super Rink. The 12,500 square foot Herb Brooks Training Center will teach young players the latest training techniques and offer state-of-the-art weight training and speed and fitness machines. New for the figure skating community will be a 6,200 square foot dryland training center that will provide a conditioning and dance studio, changing area, parent’s viewing area, figure skating store, and offices for coaches.

With all these varied amenities and services, the Schwan Super Rink is absolutely unique in the world of ice sport facilities.

Just saw from a friend on Facebook that Rocky is a BU alum. Good man. :)

That was really nice to see and one of the reasons that losing to the Blackhawks didn't hurt as much as it probably would have with another team. I'm sad hockey is over. Why couldn't it have been a best of nine?????

I had no idea. Class of....?

I watched some of the parade before leaving for vacation. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest when I get home next week.

Sorry to be a party pooper but I don't believe that this is accurate. His bio on the Blackhawks website says he's Northwestern class of '75, nothing about BU.
