As my interest in the sport of hockey continues to grow and grow, I am asking you a few questions about an idea I had in mind.
I would like to start submitting blogs and other write-ups about hockey, along with power rankings and such.
To get a sense of the interest throughout, you, the RC Nation, I ask the following questions:
1. Would you read and/or respond to such posts?
2. If so, what leagues do you have the most interest in? I follow the NHL and CCHA mostly.
If you have a similar idea, let me know - we can talk about how we can work together and such. Also, feel free to send me some ideas, if you have them.
I will broadcast my first ever hockey game as a play-by-play person on Sunday - BGHS vs. Sylvania Southview HS. I also color commentate on BGSU Hockey games.
Thanks for your time!

You could really start something up come NHL playoff time though, as I think a lot are covered on NBC ?..

The coverage is indeed terrible. I'm praying ESPN picks it back up whenever they have the chance. Especially now that Time Warner decided that NW Ohio is in the Columbus market and won't let FSN Detroit show Red Wings games anymore.

I thought the same. I was excited to get home for Christmas break and catch the Wings a few times. Turn on the TV, nothing. Found out later that night about what they did. I just don't understand why they decided this now and not in the past. We've had FS Detroit since 2004, the Jackets have been in the league since 2000, and there's never been a problem. So why now?

To get things started, I will come out with a set of Power Rankings for both the NHL and CCHA later tonight. I will try to make weekly submissions of these rankings - like the people at ESPN.
UGAdawg - I will let you run the show on the ECHL - as a Capitals fan, I check-in on the South Carolina Stingrays every once-in-a-while, but not so much on the Walleye or the rest of the league.
However, if there are any significant transactional notes from NHL to AHL and vice versa, I will try to post those updates here, as well.

It may not be Time Warner. I have Dish Network which includes Fox Sports Detroit and can't get the Red Wings games live but they do show them on tape delay. It may be an NHL decision.

It probably is. They just got Dish at home and we don't even HAVE Fox Sports Detroit right now(this WILL be changed by baseball season or else, I can't miss the Tigers), so I'm not sure. It's just frustrating. Columbus has had a team for 10 years and they decide NOW to do this?

But I want to say I was able to go see those Midwest Regional Semi-Finals in Fort Wayne in late March you mentioned above..pretty cool stuff!!
Additionally, I just read on the ESPN Bottom Line (via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) tonight that my Washington Capitals will play against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Heinz Field on January 1, 2011 for the next NHL Winter Classic! This one should be the best one yet!
