UAH Hockey 2019-20

Re: UAH Hockey 2019-20

I remember I used to complain about UAH only having one camera. But at least that one was level and not operated like "dad-cam".

And what's with the graphic on every. Single. Whistle.

Show me this band I hear. Or a bench. Or a bloody replay.
 
Re: UAH Hockey 2019-20

To echo JJM....if anyone on this thread has any sway...ahem, cough,cough....please for the love of all that is sacred STOP THE ANNOYING GRAPHICS!!!!!! Just let the camera roll....there were times when the clock was running and I was staring at a “Make Some Noise” graphic and thinking inappropriate words out loud...
 
Re: UAH Hockey 2019-20

I would bet that more time was spent in total showing graphics than was shown with game play.
Your guys deserved the win tonight. Our guys did not.

Hi. We have some BG folks heading to Huntsville for the final weekend and they're looking for dining recommendations, things to do, etc. I know this has been posted on this forum in the past but I couldn't find it. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Go to the NASA Space Museum!

Well, it's forever changing. :) What kinds of things are you looking for: barbecue? beer? fine dining (well, what passes for it here)?

Staying downtown is generally a good idea, if a bit more expensive, as some places are within walking distance of the arena and others are within walking distance of bars, restaurants, etc. Otherwise, I would stay in the Providence or Bridge Street areas, which are both mixed-use areas with hotels, restaurants, etc. (I would actually go for Providence over Bridge Street, which I wouldn't have said two years ago.) Staying in Madison is getting better, but it's still the suburb. [I live there, I can rip on it.]

[Just stay away from any hotels between Jordan Lane and Memorial Parkway on University Drive. You can thank me later.]

There's some touristy stuff downtown. Hockey John noted that the US Space and Rocket Center is probably our prime attraction, and our private partner does bring tours out here to NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. I will be working overnight shifts on those days, so I won't be at the games, but I could potentially meet a group that came out later in the afternoon on Saturday.

Re: UAH Hockey 2019-20

This is a great interview with Sheldon. In addition to obvious other members of the new UAH Hockey "Advisory Committee" like Taso, Cam, and Joe Ritch; there are two interesting "big-time" names. One is Brent Flahr, V.P. and Assistant G.M. of the Flyers. The other is Sean Henry, President and C.E.O. of the Predators. Nathan was not mentioned; but there are five more unfilled spots, and his Total Package Hockey will surely contribute. The "big-time" name who is known to have an interest in UAH hockey and who I hope they can recruit to participate is Louis Lamoriello.

Sheldon's dedication to UAH is similar to Cam's; they both claim that UAH gave them an opportunity to play college hockey after all of the other programs had passed on them. Another piece of information which was interesting to hear was that Shane Prestegard gave both Taso and him jobs in the recruiting business when their Canadian immigration status was preventing them from finding jobs in the U.S.

On the "finding a conference" front, UAH was one of the topics at a recent Atlantic Hockey meeting. There are apparently voices there which don't want to see UAH go away. Not mentioned in the interview (as I recall) is that they need to fill the spot left when UConn recently moved to Hockey East, leaving an odd number of 11 teams. The AHA includes Army and Air Force as well as former CHA competitors Robert Morris and Niagara.

How long will AHA wait on Navy to **** or get off the pot? Are they finally sick of waiting? Would the addition of LIU help UAH in that AHA could eventually expand to 14 teams?

Has anyone actually associated with Navy ever said anything about them wanting a D-I hockey team? As far as I've seen the only people saying they are going D-I are hockey fans on message boards. Maybe I'm wrong. I certainly didn't see LIU hockey coming, but hockey is not normally something that just appears out of the thin air due to the costs and facility involved.
