    Appreciate the compliment, and I agree that RPI fans are quite spoiled when it comes to that. Are there any examples of your casts? I never get to see them, mostly owing to the drive to Class of 65 taking less than an hour for me. If it's the same as the video board, then it's not so bad.

      Unfortunately, I do not think they are archived. Colgate does a pretty nice job with the presentation as I think the cameras are HD. And John McGraw (our radio guy) does a solid job of announcing the games (although I wish we had a second guy in the booth like you do).

        It looks like this season’s games are archived on watchstadium.com (this includes games from all schools in the Patriot League, Colgate’s primary athletic conference). For example, here is the full home game vs. Yale on 2/16:

          I've heard some of his calls, and he's definitely quite good at what he does. The station (I think it's 93.9?) gets overpowered by another station around here, although I can get it when I'm going through Cortland; must be the configuration of the hills, as I lose a lot of stations around here when I get down there.

          We don't always have a second guy. The main is from the SID office, with alternates consisting of athletics (i.e. track, cross country, etc.) students and a few alumni. You definitely won't hear me, as I do not have the skills to do ad lib commentary, but give me a teleprompter and I'll make it sound good.

          As for the video, nice graphical quality, looks like decent angles on 2 thru x (assuming camera 1 is at center), I like how it's "on top of the play" at near-ice center, maybe a little vertigo from the camera panning back and forth in the zone to try to follow the puck. Sure there might not be a replay, but I always thought that was unnecessary with web feeds where rewind is possible.

            Dam, storm totals for Friday have gone from 1-3 to 6-12 or more in higher elevations(which is Hamilton). Maybe tomorrow it goes back to 1-3, who knows as it's changing daily. Saturday is good though. I'm expecting a rough game with RPI trying to rile up Point, like last Saturday.
            It all starts with the goaltending.

                  Just saw Colgate is closed on Friday due to storm. Anyone coming for the game should check out the situation before leaving home....

                    Would be nice if that included an RPI forfeit for Game 1 ;-)

                      Utica tv station says 20-30 inches expected, RPI prob there already.

                            What if they held a hockey game and all the seats were empty?

                                I live 90 minutes SW of Hamilton in Owego, but I wasn’t taking any chances. Normally, I drive to/from on the same day, but not with this snowy forecast. So I drove up 24 hours in advance and got a room at the University Inn for tonight and tomorrow, knowing that the roads will be clear going home on Saturday night. Am looking forward to being on the road next weekend, too. Then Lake Placid, then Allentown, and then Saint Paul.
