A Day in The Life of a College Broadcaster

 For this post, were going a little off topic from a day in the life of a college broadcaster. Instead, we'll be checking out a current event going on this week. Sticking with the topic of sports, lets check out the ever so amazing Detroit Lions(2-1) taking on the Seahawks(3-0) this Monday. Both teams are starting the season very hot, even with the Lions taking a loss to the Buccaneers on their second game. However, it seems that the Lions, every year, have a couple teams that for some reason always have their number. The Seahawks are 100% one of those teams. After a tough loss last season to Seattle, the Lions are looking to bounce back this year and take home a 3-1 record and send the Seahawks home with their first loss of their year. According to multiple credible news outlets, this game is projected a very close score, with the Lions favored, but not by much. This is a must win in my opinion for Detroit. Going 2-2 to start the season in a year that's projected to be a bette...

 Prepping For The National Runners-Up: Grand Vally State University  As CMU gets ready to take on one of the most ready teams in ACHA college hockey, the broadcasters and our teams do the very same. I have already spent countless hours prepping with rosters, writing down stats, and game film/strategies. But the other part of prep comes in a very different form, one that not many people realize. As Vice-President of an independent broadcasting group, CCHN is required to contact/meet with the owners of every team and rink we play against and at. This is because we must obtain the broadcasting rights to film and broadcast at the arena. Both the team and rink must agree to this, and then and only then can we begin double checking our equipment for functionality and readiness. Once all this is done, then we can finally get ready for the trip to the opposing rink, where we get there sometimes up to five hours in advance to set up all our equipment. This includes two large multi thou...

    Chippewa Victory-  I had the great opportunity of broadcasting the home opener for the mens Division 3 hockey team this past Saturday! The Chippewas took a loss to Ferris State University in a rough opener on the road but bounced back at home winning 5-4 in a packed barn during overtime. This was a super fun experience that I love doing, and the time spent only feels like work outside of the game. Can't wait to hop back on the mic in two weekends for Grand Vally State University as they host the Chippewas for series two of the campaign. Fire Up!!!
