Used to talking to myself about hockey for three hours at a time. Not the guy that managed the New York Giants or related to that singer.
No #ColgateHockey for me until the middle of January. Checking out the @syracusecrunch.com against the Hartford Wolfpack from Upstate Medical University Arena. Non hockey job proving the view tonight.

Never can be too prepared. Colgate hosts RPI in @ecachockey.bsky.social men’s hockey action tonight at 7:00pm on ESPN Unlimited. Penultimate home game of the first half. Hopefully I’ll capture the spirit of the thing.

Game spotting boards color coded orange and black for both teams because it’s Halloween that’s why. #ECACHockey #ColgateHockey

Proceeds from Sunday’s #ColgateHockey exhibition game against Union will go to benefit 14-year-old Gavin Mosher of Clinton Youth Hockey’s U16 team. He is currently battling leukemia. There’s a GoFundMe that was set up over the summer that has raised over $41K.

Nine years ago tonight, my score sheet from the first men’s ice hockey game at the Class of 1965 Arena. Colgate and Army West Point played to a 2-2 overtime tie. The game featured 22 combined power plays. Derek Freeman will forever be the answer to who scored the first men’s goal at Riggs Rink.

Some of how the broadcaster sausage gets made. These will be full come Friday night… when I use maybe 1/4 of it at best. And yes, I go through a lot of markers between September and April
