That is how I went to bed last night, that is how I woke up this morning - visions of hockey names and numbers dancing in my head. With the first Broadcast of the season tomorrow, its certainly that time of year again as I begin the memorization of 100's of names and numbers from all teams throughout the BCHL. It is not an easy process, but one I must go through if I want to provide the level of play-by-play that I shoot for. The game moves way to fast - if you don't know who has the biscuit the second they have it, by the time you look down at your paper and find the name and say the name, it could be in the other end of the rink and 4 other people could have touched it along the way.
Just a small part of what goes into calling hockey for me!

Penticton Vees Captain Logan Johnson has been suspended 20 games for a dirty check in a game last Saturday that resulted in a broken jaw for Coquitlam Express forward Cody Michelle.
W - O - W is my first reaction. GOOD is my second reaction. This stuff needs to get out of the game, and the sooner the better. Would I feel the same about the check if it was delivered by a Bulldog? Who knows.
I will have BCHL Comissioner John Grisdale on during our 2nd Intermission show tomorrow to talk about all things BCHL, including this incident so don't miss it.
I thought the league really missed the boat last year in the season opener for the Bulldogs in Powell River to send a strong message after the Scott Renner leaping-blindside-elbow to the head of Frank Riddle that resulted in a stretcher and a 20 minute delay just 5 minutes into the first minute of the game of the season. All that was handed out was a 2 game suspension, by about 10am the next morning. It was shocking. Hopefully this 20 gamer will send the message that EVERYONE needs to get.
Well done BCHL, it couldn't have been easy to make this decision with a lack of video evidence. 20 games, one-third of the season, is a pretty stiff penalty. Catch more with John Grisdale on 93.3 The Peak FM tomorrow during the 2nd Intermission show.
