When we lived in Bremerton Washington, I had helped a friend who was broadcasting the junior hockey games for the team our boys were playing on. When his boys went to other teams, I had taken over the broadcast.
Over the next year I had started my online Blogspot for people to get logged in and watch live over the internet. My son, daughter and I built a press box above the sound booth to give a birds eye view of the ice surface.
With my wife operating the camera and myself doing play by play, Sports Stream Live
(www.sportsstreamlive.blogspot.com)
became a reality. I had various people doing color commentary with me over a few years. Jeff Whalley was one in particular that had helped me for a long while. Jeff was a former member of the coaching staff and went on to become a lawyer.
Over the next few years doing the broadcasts, I had made some highlight videos from the games that I was broadcasting and posted them on my blog site.
During the time I ran Sports Stream Live, I had broadcast games for the Puget Sound Tomahawks, Seattle Totems and the University of Washington Huskies as well as many youth tournaments. I had the privilege and opportunity to reach people from all over the world, who in one way or another had an attachment to the players on the ice. It was an amazing experience for me knowing I could bring people closer together. I have some stories and memories from this time in my life that I will remember and cherish forever.
If you would like to hear some of my experiences, leave a comment and I will write back.
Broadcasting Hockey Online makes me happy.
