Adding NHL sounds to a 6U goal sure changes the level of excitement.

It’s coming, Kauffman (Icemen owner) is full send on hockey in the south. He’s bought the rights to Savannah’s ECHL team and I’m pretty sure they’re just finishing the deal for the Sportsplex renovation. It won’t be done for quite some time but very exciting to see hockey making strides in Jacksonville. Hope to see you guys around at Stick and Puck or something sometime.

HA, for sure, but I'll take that ice over no ice! I can't thank the management and coaches enough for keeping the kids playing during this past year. I welcome the upcoming upgrades, but I'm more excited in the Icemen's up coming involvement to the youth program!

you got that right. I will take dumpy ice over no ice all day, especially year round in florida.
I am really excited to see what the Icemen do with the youth program, as well as the whole rink. It is an exciting time to be a hockey player at jax ice...........finally

Can confirm. Played yesterday. Puddles everywhere

i did too. that warm weather killed it. LAKES everywhere

I guess that’s at least an advantage of us having to get up early for the youth leagues.

Under 6? Those are huge 5 year olds.
Love the sound addition. .

Yes 6U. they started him in 8U last season as previously didn’t have a 6U. New hockey director is really trying to build the program and they started 6U this season. He just turned 6 last month, and he his small for his age, so it makes the other 6U kids look bigger (well that goalie is 8U as they had 3 this week). Should have seen him out there compared to the 8Us! He did for the most part hold his own when he played with the 8U kids. Well until they played full ice there for a bit, and he just couldn’t keep up with their stride. But he would scrum with them along the boards and didn’t care what size they were, winning a lot of the puck battles.

That's the way to play. Love the added sounds.

6U would include 6 year olds.

That’s awesome.

I suddenly believe that we need to be adding this audio to all kids games. This is priceless. “Off the pipe!!”

I’m no video editor by far (if you couldn’t tell), but it was surprising easy to piece together sound clips from YouTube In whatever video editor popped up in my google search first. Really had to zoom in on Live Barn video as it was the opposite side of the ice, so it degraded the video pretty good. I’m sure I committed several copyright infringements, but it’s for the kids!!

I always wanted to see if I could find a PBP guy on cameo or something to add calls to my team's shitty beer league highlihgts.

You should contact your local AHL/NHL club and see if you can get the U6 team in to play between periods. You’ll get a real video with the “sounds of the game” and the kids will get an unreal memory! I’ve been to hundreds of games and can only think of a few times they didn’t have a young team out for a 5 min period to support local youth. Great video!

Closest NHL rink to this would be in Tampa. This is in Jacksonville.

In that case The Jacksonville Icemen may bit a little closer... or it’s time for a road trip!!

This is the Jax Icemen arena if I’m not mistaken.
2
No, it’s a smaller rink in jacksonville called jax ice and sportsplex. The icemen play on the other side of the river. This place is used for free skate, beer league, figure skating, and youth hockey
Edit: although the icemen are about to renovate it so I guess technically it is

They are currently trying to get his scheduled with the Icemen. He’ll be pretty stoked if they are able to work it out!

Hey, it’ll be a great parent moment too!! Keep us posted...this is what hockey is all about!!

that is priceless especially using Doc's call
1
Thanks! Certainly shows I’m having a lot of fun with my kid’s interest in playing hockey! Two different Doc calls from two complete different games His amazing consistency in his voice made it easy to piece together with just a second crowd noise clip to blend through the gap in between the two calls.
Getting to hear Doc call a Blues cup game was the pinnacle of my Doc fandom. So glad the Blues got that in there before he retired. That Blues Cup run was also what got my kid interested in wanting to do nothing but learn to skate and play Hockey. He had only put on a pair of skates once before then.

He netted 4 this game. Not his prettiest goal, but my favorite of the game as he didn't give up on the play. After he hit the post after a wide open glove side, he chased his rebound, fought through the crowd, and then wrapped it around to the goalie's stick side, squeaking it in. Slammed it in a second time just to make sure.
