No Buffalo Adult Hockey on YouTube???

    Thursday, August 14, 2008, 05:57 PM [General]

    Watching some hockey videos, I came across some pretty cool videos of adult pick-up hockey games being played. I was very surprised to see there were no Buffalo hockey games available. Having been to several pick-up games at the Pepsi Center (and I've even photographed a few), I have to say, given the great fan and family support of even the lowest-level teams, I'm pretty disappointed that there are no Pepsi Center videos on YouTube.

    With playoff time coming up for the adult summer session, someone should step up and record some video. Playoffs should be so exciting, that you can't hear yourself think. Here are two examples of the same goal:

     

     

     "Hey, Hey, Hockeytown" sung, then "I Can See Clearly Now" for the Cleary goal.

     

     

    Televised version. Obviously seeing it live is better...

    Welcome to Nuclear Postmen Hockey!

    Monday, October 15, 2007, 12:02 PM [General]

    The Nuclear Postmen are a roller hockey team based in Toledo, Ohio, from 1991-1993. They were players in Sylvania Sports and Exhibition Center's inaugural roller hockey season in the spring of 1992. The Nuclear Postmen won the Bill Cup Championship that season. They no longer play at Tam O' Shanter in Sylvania, Ohio after having spent that single season there.

    When Tam O' Shanter (now known as the Sylvania Sports & Exhibition Center) found the costs of maintaining their ice surface to be too high during the late spring and early summer, where hockey was not as commonly played, they decided to experiment with introducing a summer roller hockey league as a way of keeping the facility in use without the costs of maintaining an ice hockey rink.

    The Nuclear Postmen were a team playing and practicing on the blacktop lot of Harvard Elementary School in Toledo, Ohio. Players were ages 13-15 years old. The team was inspired by the return of professional ice hockey to Toledo in the Toledo Storm. The Storm brought hockey back to life in the city of Toledo, who had been without a pro hockey team since the Toledo Goaldiggers in 1986.
