High School Hockey on the Web!

[Lily Braden]

Hi,
I'm slightly lame at linking to things....but here's a press release I received about a new FOX 9/KMSP hockey show. I think they are looking for people to add highlights...so if you want to see yourself, your kid or your school on the web, send in your video.



KMSP LAUNCHES MyFoxHockey.com
Interactive Web Platform to Highlight Local Amateur Hockey Teams

MINNEAPOLIS-ST. PAUL – FOX 9 has launched MyFoxHockey.com, a Web site dedicated to showcasing Minnesota’s high school hockey teams, announced Carol Rueppel, Vice President and General Manager, KMSP-TV.

In making the announcement, Rueppel stated, “We are thrilled to give Minnesota hockey fans a go-to destination for news, stats and video of their favorite high school teams as part of our continuing commitment to local sports coverage.”

Each Monday, the site will feature a live half-hour Web cast, “Minnesota Hockey on Demand,” starting November 26th at 7:00 p.m. (CT). Hosted by FOX 9 Sports Director, Jim Rich, and coach/analyst, Pete Waggoner, the program will include game highlights, video of top players from across the state, updates on college and professional games and an interactive chat with fans.

Beginning Thursday, November 29th and continuing weekly throughout the season, MyFoxHockey.com will also present a live stream of one high school match-up. Waggoner will present the play-by-play and color analysis will be provided by local hockey experts. The first game will be Wayzata High School vs. St. Paul’s Hill-Murray.

All highlights will also be posted on FOXHILITESTwinCities.com, the station’s comprehensive high school-focused online video sharing and social network. FOXHILITESTwinCities.com encourages students to act as local news teams, covering life inside and outside their classrooms. This includes high school athletics, dramatic performances and academic events. Users can upload highlights from games they attend, as well as vote on match-ups for FOX 9 sports to cover that week.

Just when I thought I had a scoop....must be because my brain is frozen because I've been to the rink four times today and I'm about to head out again. One of these children better get a scholarship for something (I don't care if it's hockey, rocket science or advanced Game-Boy studies, at this point). Chauffer was not really what I had envisioned for my career!
