CoteauRinkRat Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 That would be fun to watch. I wonder what kind of attendance they will have at it. Quote
Canuck Posted January 16, 2004 Posted January 16, 2004 If Notermann is competing this year, I say they add a new competition similar to the shot accuracy contest. Instead of having targets placed in each corner of the net, see who can hit the most pipes. Notermann would be unstoppable! Quote
HKNTSMN Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 Spiewak has outstanding effort in Skills competition at ECHL All-Star event tonight. Notermann does well but Kevin does everything super. Way to Go KEVIN!!!! Par-A-Dice ECHL Skills Results January 20, 2004 PEORIA, Ill. Quote
PCM Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Congratulations to Kevin and Jason. Is there any way they could make a guest appearance on the Sioux penalty kill this weekend? Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Thanks for hawking this story HK and keeping us posted on a couple of fine hockey players. Does sound like a blast. Wonder if the WCHA would ever do something similar at the Final Five, no? Watch. It's going to be in Walter's column soon. "A little birdie says that the WCHA is going to have a 'skills competition' during its Final Five Tournament at the Excel in March." Quote
CoteauRinkRat Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Not a surprise to us that Kevin has some great wheels. Quote

redwing77 Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Noterman scores the 6th goal for the east! Spiewak was on the ice but did not get an assist Edit: That would be the Game Tying Goal thus far. East has scored 3 unanswered goals since going down 6-3 Quote
