Whalers Fan
Go Habs!
It may be a little early, but I thought I would go ahead and start a new thread for the new season so there is a place to post information as it becomes available.
Little side thought...saw the pictures on social media of the U17’s doing picture day and they were wearing the jerseys Team USA wore at the Olympics last winter. I hope they don’t use those as a jersey throughout the year. They are awful (just my opinion). I love the regular blues and whites with the USA across the chest.
They will. They have to wear what Nike tells them to wear. And don't worry, saying those jerseys are awful isn't exactly a novel opinion.
We get our first look at the U17's tonight as they take on the Johnstown Tomahawks of the NAHL in an exhibition game. Game will be streamed on HockeyTV. I'll probably watch early tomorrow morning as I have dinner plans tonight. A real game is finally here!
I am looking forward to a scouting report from you, NTDP. I will not be seeing the team in action until opening weekend at USA Hockey Arena on October 5th.
Gotcha covered. Does Pete Krupsky go on the road and broadcast games on the radio or online? I thought I saw him at a Youngstown game last year. Imagine it’s hard with two teams and a high probability one is at home while the other away.
I haven't listened to a radio broadcast since the Whalers were here, so I'm not sure if Pete Krupsky goes on the road with them. The local high school radio station no longer carries the games, and I haven't had the desire to look for them via streaming radio.
I do miss seeing Sean Baligian around the arena, since he wasn't doing the color commentary with Pete at all last year. Sean's a really nice guy, and a fellow Habs fan. He would always stop by and at least say hello, or if he had a few minutes talk a little Habs hockey. It was funny watching him walk around the arena, greeting so many people. Pete, on the other hand, never seems to even acknowledge anyone as he walks around the arena or restaurant. Kind of odd for someone heading up communications for an organization.
