What has happened to the state tournament experience for these kids? It's sad that what was once a four day celebration has become what it has. I dunno, I get the "teachers in the classroom" argument, but one day extra as an incentive if your team makes the state tournament is a nice way to end the year. Remember that well and we always had a good speaker or two. Too bad it isn’t like that anymore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen4sioux Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Devil is in the details on the "coverage" once again.. Sam Goetzinger will handle play-by-play. Former Fargo South coach Dean Wilson will be the analyst and former St. Cloud State defender Rachel Herzog will be the rinkside reporter. All of the consolation games, including the third- and fifth-place contests, will be streamed on Forum Communications websites, but will not have announcers calling the action. Just an absolute embarrassing situation for NDHSAA and WDAY to put out there. Not only do you have to pay for most games they don't even bother with Play by play. What a disrespectful joke to ND High school hockey. But those fuktwats at NDHSAA will just cash the check without even worring about what this word "hockey" means in the memo line and sign on again for another year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfhockey Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Used to broadcast the 3rd place game too wday a huge step back from kvly inremeber the late night Friday nights. Best Friday nights ever. Semi final staying at 6:30 and next game at nine loved it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 At the end of their reign the KVLY coverage was abysmal. You had Jamal Franklin (bless his heart, he tried) calling the games with zero idea what was going on because he wasn't a hockey guy, and former Spud coach Morinville trying to cover for him. When you had whomever with O'Keefe it wasn't ever terrible because O'Keefe can just fill space with the best of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSP does a spectacular job, BEK does a good job, I'd bet Midco can pull it off as well. Heck, the Fargo South/Shanley student game feed is better. Although, The SCAM that NFHS pulled on the NDHSAA is a horrendous product. The real advantage to these other outlets is the stream to the YouTube channels that allow such ease of use on smart TVs, Roku, Firesticks and Apple TVs. State wide TV (for 3 games) on a marginal network is "neat" in a 1989 type way but it's completely disrespectful to the student athletes and nothing but a money grab for NDHSAA. The static cam no announcers BS from WDAY is atrocious and embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Five Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 PSP or BEK streaming it would be the best product we could have, but WDAY comes in with their big dick money and bends them over at the table. It’s unfortunate hockey has to be apart of the entire package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 PSP and BEK are surprisingly good outlets that not enough folks know about. If you have Midco cable you probably have WDAY-Xtra (check the channel guide). It doesn't let ForumComm (parent of WDAY) off the hook, no PxP is low-bid weak-sause, but I'd probably have the volume off anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t give a crap about it and trot out the same old clueless announcers for the Frozen Four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
